1 John 4: 19 We love because He first loved us. Do you ever wonder why more of us Christians don’t exhibit the kind of love that we read about in the Bible? It is not because we are bad people. There are people who truly love God and who are trying to live the […]

John 21: 17 “Simon, son of John Do you love Me? Tend My sheep.” I have pondered for several years now what it means to be a Christian? We come in so many varieties and place our values on different things. Where is the commonality that makes each of us Christian? Are we simply behaviorists, […]
Psalm 139: 20 For they speak against Thee wickedly, and Thine enemies take Thy name in vain. This verse strikes me as outlandish.
