    We all have the responsibility to live and speak in such a way as to reflect the gospel and sometimes to share it in words.

    The calling of the Apostles was a process rather than one decisive event. The event we are looking at today is the third time Jesus has placed a call on their lives. That is not to say that the fishermen ignored the earlier calls. A careful comparison reveals that each call increased in the ...read more

    God has given the gift of His Agape love to believers to be "exercised" in your daily life in Holy Spirit-filled ways.

    “Heart-y Commitments” Romans 12:11-13 In the Western World, so many people eat and exercise to be “Heart Smart”. It is far more important, though, for followers of Jesus to exercise God’s Love than it is to watch what you eat. We looked at Romans 12:9-10 over the ...read more

    When we are unwilling to finish our spiritual growth, we are inviting judgment. We need to seek the counsel of others and remember and learn from our victories. The same hands that hold us in judgment are nail-scarred for mercy.
