Tonight I read through John 6:41-47 “41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus…

I’ve become overwhelmed recently about many events happening in the world. There are very tense situations dividing people, angering people, moving some to violence, hatred, despair, confusion and helplessness. It is very emotionally draining, having a great effect on my mental state. Every day I open my social media feeds, and am berated by negativity,…

Some say sex and gender are different. They say gender is a construct and a spectrum, and claim that people can ‘identify as’ any gender they like.

The explosion of tension right now on the internet around Charlie Kirk’s assassination is exposing the opinions and positions of many people. Some are showing sympathy for Kirk and his family only to lose many followers, receive hateful comments and even death threats.

Our place in this world is God’s gift to us. His guidance will lead to fulfilling relationships and a beneficial unity that will strengthen any community. Help the needy, heal the sick, visit the isolated. When those in need are helped, society is healthier. When they aren’t helped, crime rises, violence spreads, hospitals fill, services…

Ephesians 6:10-20 “10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this…

To understand the dangers of being affected by substances from hallucinogens to simple stimulants like caffeine, I think an appreciation must be developed for the body’s natural development and maturity. Using substances to alter our minds and certain moods, we can have the danger of inhibiting us from maturing into better people. If we simply…

Sexual immorality is rampant these days. Pornography, casual sex and all forms of sexual deviancy are a misuse of God’s amazing gift to us. All people have been born through sex between a man and a woman, and ideally those parents raise the person they created to be successful in life, teaching the benefits of…
