    Like Jesus' followers of old, we sometimes fall in love with the gift and forget the giver.

    Remember that old country western song, “Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places”? The song was about a down and out cowboy, looking for love in bars and shallow relationships. “Looking for love in all the wrong places”. Today we have a text that might go by a similar ...read more

    ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE ... THERE ARE STATEMENTS DESIGNED TO MAKE US AWARE OF POTENTIAL DANGER. One such warning is in Proverbs 14:12: "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death."

    What is God’s purpose for establishing the church? Are we fulfilling this purpose or running in the wrong direction like Jonah did? As a church may we realize our purpose and fulfill it at all cost.

So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.” (ESV) The word of the Lord we saw in the ...read more
