    There is a kind of death in family life today. Jesus offers unconditional compassion, used His authority to give life, and gives us as gifts to one another.

    One sweltering afternoon, on the dirty streets of a dangerous section of New Orleans, a man approached a woman with some papers in his hand. He asked Helen if she would agree to write letters to a man on death row at Angola prison. Helen agreed, rather absent-mindedly. She was used to people ...read more

    Joseph’s coat of many colors could have been a symbol of so many things that his father Israel tried to teach him. The different colors in the Bible speak of so many significant things for our lives today as well.

This morning, being Father’s Day, I want to speak to you about that coat and what it could signify to every father in the church today. Genesis 37:1-3, "And Jacob dwelt in the ...read more

Bush, who is known as a man of FAITH. God is a big part of his life. Gore knew that the polls indicated that the American people liked ...read more

    The shouts of ’Hosanna!’ at the triumphal entry were shallow in contrast to the devotion Mary showed to Jesus in anointing him at Bethany the day before.
