     | 1,793 views

    Some pros and cons of Christmas.

    Because we want others to approve of us, we feel a pressure to displace some of God’s commands with peer group rules or trends.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,593 views

    Whatever we do, we must not let our traditions steal our joy or our love. We must not let “church business” keep us from “the business of the church.”

    A few years ago, I came across some odd laws from a long time ago that were still on the books in the 21st Century. I think you’ll find them quite amusing. For example, young girls are never allowed to walk a tightrope in Wheeler, Mississippi, unless it's in a church. In Blackwater, ...read more
