    The 153 Fish Wake-Up Call Series

But somehow every single store in all of existence seems to feel it as they’re already putting out Christmas decorations. I think by next year we’re going to see combo-fireworks stands selling candy canes and ...read more

    INTRODUCTION Nobody puts “tree-climbing” on their spiritual résumé. We expect prayer, devotion, Scripture memory, generosity… but not scrambling up branches like a kid chasing a glimpse of a parade. Yet Zacchaeus’ story proves something astonishing: Sometimes reaching for Jesus begins ...read more

    Have you ever tried swimming against the current? For those of us who tried, I believe we found it so difficult and we even felt like drowning. I think that’s the same drowning feeling when we talk about living a godly life in an ungodly world. Either we feel like giving in or giving up. Yet, ...read more
