    Christmas is over. The Christmas Eve services have concluded. The presents are unwrapped. The stockings are empty again. The food is gone (well, most of it). The season is feeling like it’s over. But we can never forget… What it all means. Just because the 25th has come and gone, don’t quit living like Jesus…

    I’m not a parent yet, but I’ve heard the stories of how a newborn baby completely changes their parents’ lives as soon as they’re born. The parents’ priorities change, their time schedules change, their budgets change, their focus changes. All of a sudden they have the responsibility of a human life other than their own.…

    Religion isn’t a smorgasbord. John 14:6 “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” Did you read that? No one comes to the Father (God) EXCEPT by Christ. We can’t pick and choose what faiths we want to combine. All roads do…

    If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent us an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist.

    I read this quote a couple of days ago… “Christ’s life outwardly was one of the most troubled lives that was ever lived: tempest and tumult, tumult and tempest, the waves breaking over it all the time. But the inner life was a sea of glass. The great calm was always there.” – Henry Drummond…

    Matthew 10:5-8 “These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.
