     | 4,146 views

Christianity is not primarily about a philosophy of life, a code of ethics, a religious institution, a series of rituals, or a cultural identification. It is those things, but not primarily.

    God wants us to walk closer with Him so that we might better understand just how wonderful we are and how wonderful this thing called life is. It is only truly wonderful when we live our life in the light of God’s presence.

There is a message from God in almost everything that we see, touch, taste, smell or feel. God is everywhere just waiting for His creation to cry out for its Creator! Psalms 19:1 ...read more

    Significance is a matter of perspective—man's versus God's.

    Our perception of things is unreliable; we often think we have the right perspective on an issue when in fact we are way off. Tom Wheeler, former CEO of Mass Mutual Life Insurance Company, tells a charming story that illustrates this point: He and his wife were driving along an interstate highway ...read more
