Family … For some, the very word strikes fear into the heart. For others, it brings a smile to our face. And for lots of the rest of us we land somewhere in between, depending on the day, the circumstance, or how recently our in-laws came to visit!! For good or bad, we all live in families. No matter our situation, we can experience spiritual growth in these little communities called family. Jesus...

And yet the truth is this story should take our breath away every time we hear it. God loved the world so much that he sent his one and only Son, not to judge and condemn us, but to save us. What kind of amazing grace is this? This...

How we think impacts everything about us: the decisions we make, how we raise our children, how we interact with people, how we spend our money, how we use our time - basically how we live our whole lives. A primary reason there is little difference between followers of Christ and the world around - as far as how we live - is that we do not think differently than those who don’t know Jesus--our mi...

It was a gathering! Jesus and his disciples had arrived at the home of his friend, Martha, and she was getting things ready for her guests. What hostess wouldn’t want to have things in order? Instead of experiencing the joy of having friends in her home, Martha was “distracted” by everything going on around her (Luke 10:40). Literally, the word for distracted means “pulled apart.” At the same time...
