It’s Hard to be Humble!

Misplacing Coins and Losing Sheep
Throughout history, many Christians have temporarily drifted away from the faith, only to return after a time “in the desert.” Times are different now. Research shows that today’s Christians are leaving and not, on their own accord, coming back. Why are they leaving?...
Trust And Confidence
Imagine a small child riding in the back seat of his father’s car, fully trusting that his father will get him home safely. At no point would the toddler know how to find his own way home. As we travel through life, we need that same level of trust and confidence....
Concrete Shoes
Who would have thought that a song from a 1928 music drama about MacHeath, a cold-blooded, knife-wielding criminal from London’s underworld, would go on to become a huge hit. Yet, Mack The Knife, sung by Bobby Darin in 1959, became a number one hit and earned him two...

Set Apart
Approximately eight billion of us occupy this place we call earth. Many religions, ideologies and ways of life exert influence on the world’s societies. As Christians, we live in this world, but we are also set apart from the world. For most of us, this is a paradox....
