Deuteronomy 7:7-11 Have you ever said something that you regretted? Maybe an insult toward a sibling or a parent in a quick bout of anger? Why do we do that to the very people who love us and provide for us time and time again? I know that I certainly have made this mis read more

Who’s the Boss?
Genesis 1-3 Did your mom or dad ever ask you to do something to which you responded with the question: “Why?” I can almost guarantee your parents’ answer to that question was the ever so popular: “Because I said so!” For some of you, that answer may have sufficed and fo read more

Deuteronomy 4:23-24 One of my favorite songs is by David Crowder. Over and over in my head I will hum the line, “He is jealous for me, loves like a hurricane I am a tree…” It just brings a certain kind of joy and peace to my spirit whenever I dwell on the jealousy of Go read more
