What does it really mean to be a “good person”? Most of us compare ourselves to others and think, “I’m better than some, so I’m doing okay.” But God’s standard isn’t “pretty good” — it’s perfect holiness, inside and out. Because of sin, we’re separated from God, and justice demands a consequence. Yet God’s love offers a rescue plan, bridging the gap between us and Him. Join us to explore this life...

Emery Berendt taught about how to keep trusting God even if we don’t see him working in our circumstances.

Freedom is the self-control to do what is right. It is not doing whatever you want.

The devil is a liar who seeks to devour God’s children, but we can resist and withstand his lies.

Those of us who have accepted Jesus as our Savior are children of God. We have been adopted by him, and as his children, we inherit many amazing benefits.
