The others were he...  Read More

"And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." - Matthew 22:39 Most people have no problem loving themselves. We make sure we eat, sleep, and chase the things that make us happy. We defend ourselves when others criticize us. We forgive ourselves when we mess up.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever." - Psalm 136:1 Gratitude is more than being polite. It is worship.

The question isn’t if you’re listening...  Read More

"Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?" – Mark 4:40 When the storm hit, the disciples panicked. Wind roared, waves crashed, and their boat started filling with water. But Jesus was right there. Asleep, calm, unmoved. Not because He didn’t care, but because He wasn’t afraid. It wasn’t the storm that troubled Jesus. It was their reaction. They had seen His power. They had heard His teachin...  Read More

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." – Matthew 22:37 If someone asked you how much you love God, how would you answer?
