Look around and you will notice many people using eyeglasses. Some may be wearing contact lenses, but either way, a large percentage of people are receiving assistance to… Read More »
Pictures
One of the greatest photo albums is the one we call The Bible. God gives us many pictures of who he is in this book. We will look at just four: The Door, The Good Shepherd, The Bread of Life, and The Vine. It is my contention that any and all questions in life can… Read More »
Worshiping with Our Minds
The apostle Paul wrote to a church that believed that they were pretty smart. The Corinthian church had gnostic ideas that they were acting out. They felt superior and yet they were sinful in ways that we would blush at even today. Paul had to correct them and he did so without holding back. In… Read More »

Is “Worship Wars” a Reality…?
We fool ourselves if we think that singing songs of worship makes us worshipers. In fact, if we go deeper, motivating people to join in song, is only touching the surface.
