The Message translation of 1 John 3:4, says that “sin is a major disruption of God’s order.” Sin is anything that is against God.

Made for More
Did you know you were made for more? Jesus said that we would do greater things than even He did during His earthly ministry. It’s true.

Getting Your Life Together
I saw a post today online about the infamous invite-a-friend to church day. It got me thinking about the recent invitations I have extended and the invitations that seem to get excuse after excuse. There are some people I have been inviting to church for years. I get a lot of excuses but the one … Continue reading Getting Your Life Together

There may be a rule that you have for your child’s benefit and you find yourself having to repeat it because it is not followed.
