    based on 18 ratings
     | 9,410 views

    There is a common perception today that Jesus and Christianity teaches that the Church should support the idea of social justice. By social justice, I mean that the Church should be a supporter of government programs to provide for the poor. Though, Chris

    based on 4 ratings
     | 580 views

    Gratitude aligns us with God's will, opens the door to His blessings, and transforms our perception of reality. It's about celebrating every good thing, even partial miracles, and turning every situation into an opportunity for praise.

    The Bible tells us to be happy, pray a lot, and say thanks no matter what's happening. This is what God wants for us. It's not about finding some secret plan for our lives, but about becoming more like Jesus in every situation. Saying thanks is like the key that unlocks God's blessings. Imagine you ...read more
