    Humanism has crept into the Church where the focus has become on how to please people rather than God. The goal of humanism is to be happy as you live while the goal of Christianity is to be happy when your life is completed

    A good friend is a good find. Developing positive friendships are the crowning jewels in our life. Someone once said, “A friend is a present you give yourself”. How should we choose our friends and how can we tell if we have a good one?

Then we have closer friends who we get together with on occasion. We might not see them too often but our level ...read more
