    When God created us, he gave us freedom of choice. We can choose to believe in him or not. To sin or not. There is no gray area. To live in sin is to be a slave to sin. We are free to choose between two masters, but we are not free to manipulate the c

    Jesus asked a "black sheep" to be one of the 12 apostles. It probably caused a stir among the apostles, and sure did with the Pharisees! But it changed Levi's life and he celebrated it with a party for Jesus!
