In 1 Corinthians 13 I’ve been studying the Bible’s definition of love. The love Christians should have because of the work of the Holy Spirit. God is love, and God is patient. He also requires us to be patient with others. That is one way to show His love. The next word in the sentence [...]

God speaks of being our Father throughout Scripture. He is truly our Lord and Master but more than that Christ calls Him “Father’. As a child I used to think of my parents and how they loved me. As the recipient of their love I valued them. Yet my small gestures were nothing compared to [...]

Many of my friends are having babies or are first time mothers. This has caused me to reminisce about my experiences as a new mother.

This is a historic time in our nation’s history. It has given me cause to reflect on how we got to the election of a liberal president. What was his appeal? [...]
