• The Thread of Truth

  What is God about? I find it ironic how often the answer to that question will not reflect a person’s personal theology about Him. For example, a person like me who has been saved through Christ’s loving and sacrificial giving of Himself of the cross will so often declare that God is about relationships. Yet,…

• When Christians Act Like Atheists

  Today we think about one of the oddest actions in the world. No, it isn’t when people who don’t believe in God act like they don’t believe in Him. It isn’t when people who are iffy about God act like they don’t believe in Him. No, the oddest action to me is when those who…

• On Mission With God

  In Acts 13 we see Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey.  On Sunday, we did not focus on Paul and Barnabas’ success.  Instead, we focused on their response to opposition and resistance.  It is there that we see Paul and Barnabas’ character shine through. We do not see them grow frustrated or hopeless. …
