When Osama Bin Laden was killed, some people in America rejoiced in the streets. After all, this one man had accepted blame for masterminding the 9-11 terrorist attacks within our borders. Acts carried out under his direction left many loved ones with empty arms and hearts when the planes used as missiles hit their marks.… Continue reading 11/23/16: God is Not Happy About This

Every few years, another round of the debate comes up between Creation and evolution. Ever since Darwin’s Origin of Species, Christians have been in the fight of their lives over whether or not God created the universe.

Laying hold of salvation… Continue reading 8/8/16: Change Your Mind

Others turn inward to isolate themselves from the world until the pain or the issue eases up a bit. Some… Continue reading 3/4/16: Change Your First Reaction

   Certain events happen in our lives by which we mark time. In other words, our present daily lives begin to pivot around that particular happening from the past. This naturally should be the case concerning landmark days such as our wedding and the birth of a child. However, traumatic experiences can have the same… Continue reading 3/3/16: Understanding Compassion

In Genesis chapter 43, Joseph’s brothers found themselves in a bind. The land was still experiencing a grave famine and they had run out of the food they’d bought from Egypt on their first trip. When their father told them to go back to buy more, they reminded him that they couldn’t go without taking… Continue reading 3/2/16: Is What We Have, What We Need?
