A Narrow Path Down The Middle

  A lot of people throw the words "legalism" and "legalistic" around these days. Tell me if you've heard any of these phrases: "I don't want to be legalistic but…" "You know as Christians we shouldn't be legalistic and all but…" "He/she is too legalistic for me!" So what exactly does it mean to be [...]

Why So Much Fear??

Do I REALLY Have to Forgive The Dudes Who Killed My Mailbox???

Yesterday I had the great privilege of celebrating the marriage of my nephew.

We Should Always Follow Through

"So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

Something Better

Last week, my husband and I began a bible study which began in 1 Corinthians but ended up at Hebrews 11: 39-40.
