    Designed for a day devoted to reclaiming inactive members, this sermon argues that the spiritual life is like a piece of equipment: unpack, read the instructions, assemble, plug in the power.

You would think that when you have paid good money for your purchase, it would be ready. But not so. Something else always has to be done. You ...read more

Some want our good while some want to harm us in whatever way they can. This does not have to make anyone nervous, it should only stir us to become ...read more
