    Which would you rather be - a Christian who puts on Christ’s character like a costume, or an instrument playing beautiful music in God’s hands?

    I admit it – I played with paper dolls as a young boy. I guess I got them from my sisters – we may have even played them together. But I remember thinking it was pretty cool that you could take this people, cut out different clothes and hair and stuff for them and make them into anything you wanted ...read more

    There is so much confusion in religion today that some people just don't know where to turn. Are the majority of these groups paying close attention to the doctrine or teaching of Christ?

    "Blind Guides Of The Blind" "And after He called the multitude to Him, He said to them, "Hear, and understand. "Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man." Then the disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that ...read more

    If our actions do not support our words then it would be better if we remain silent, for what we do does speak so loud that the world cannot hear what we say.

    MIXED MESSAGES "Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ’These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me, and in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."
