This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 2 Timothy 1:9 NIV Jesus has changed the world. The God who came, has come. We face a daunting task of ...read more

    One may browse through a hundred news articles a day or reflect on the situations facing humanity with great trembling. And one may reflect back upon history to consider how history repeats itself.

    I'd like to arrange several elements which we'll reference during this reflection. We'll be referencing sources including Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, the novels 1984 and Animal Farm by Orwell, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, an obscure Walt Disney film from 1979 ...read more

    Temptation has more to do with following our flesh then following the devil. Satan can ONLY tempt us to do what we WANT to do.

    James 1:9-18 9 Believers who are poor have something to boast about, for God has honored them. 10 And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them. They will fade away like a little flower in the field. 11 The hot sun rises and the grass withers; the little flower droops and falls, and ...read more
