When stress and anxiety attack, even Christians can give in and say things we shouldn't. This doesn't mean we'll go to hell, but it does mean that we need to seek God more, ESPECIALLY during the attacks, so we won't say or do things we'll regret.

What Words Really Say!
When provoked, many of us speak what's on our minds—revealing what's in our hearts. As Christians, we represent Jesus in all we say and do, and when we swear, curse, gossip, or judge others, we're no different from the world in their eyes.

Forgiven, Not Perfect
Being Christian means our sins are forgiven, but we are not perfect.

God is faithful and forgives us when we repent, but our actions still affect others. This is … Continue reading Forgiven, Not Perfect

As believers, our giving must be from … Continue reading What IS My Motive?
Please, pass the salt!
There's a mineral that we use every day and can't live without. It gives life and we use it to accent our food, preserve food, bathe in, and even cleanse wounds. Spiritual salt is also crucial to life, and we must always be filled and ready to respond when we hear, “Please, pass the salt!” Jesus had … Continue reading Please, pass the salt!
