It’s easy to say something like “I got ready and left for work” or even, “I woke up, ate, brushed my teeth, showered and left for work.” But that’s way over-simplified, isn’t it? Every activity is made up of a bunch of smaller actions, and if you are intent on each one, it can be…
The message of the Gospel or “Good News” starts with “Bad News”. It begins with a story of disobedience; God’s intended perfect creation got polluted by “sin”. The word “sin” is derived from an archery term used to describe an arrow shot toward its target, but falls short of its intended mark. God had made…

Two things I asked of You. Do not refuse me before I die: (1) Keep deception and lies far from me, (2) Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion, that I not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the LORD?” Or that I not…
