There are so many created things all around, and each thing is created for a purpose. I love technology and I am continuously amazed at all things new. It’s crazy to think that my watch can perform an ECG, but this is what the creator purposed for the creation—a watch that does more than tell … Continue reading Have Never Been

Living Proof
John the Baptist was baptizing people in the Jordan River when the Pharisees and Sadducees approached. He called them a “brood of vipers” and commanded that they “produce fruit in keeping with repentance” (Matthew 3:7-8 NIV).

I forgot about my daughter’s … Continue reading Different Perspectives

The Gold Cords
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31 This past weekend was graduation.

The Tablet
As I prepared for the next lesson I would be teaching, I peered onto my bookshelf in search of other resources to help me study more in depth.
