    Don’t coast through life hoping that staying out of trouble and occasionally doing a good deed will be enough when it counts. Stop being a “casual Christian”, and start having a relationship with the God of the universe.

The scripture I just read was written by Solomon, who was the richest, wisest, and most influential king of Israel. If you were paying attention, you heard Solomon say that he had it ...read more

    The father only seems like a chump, taking back the wastrel son. But I am not the elder son, I am the prodigal, needing forgiveness.

    Jesus has the last laugh! In Jesus' resurrection, the Creator of the Universe gives His answer to the rejection of His Son at Calvary. In Christ, our lives no longer end in our funeral but rather in the Wedding of the Lamb.

    Jokes can be pretty mean, and maybe April 1st, being April Fools Day in some parts, can be a pretty worrying time – you might be always looking over your shoulder, not sure if you’re going to get pranked before mid-day strikes. However, this April 1st, this April Fools Day, also happens to be ...read more
