As Jesus followers, we don’t … Continue reading “Line in The Sand”

His love for them was steadfast – unrelenting; some say it was a reckless love. The Great Ruler was unlike any other, … Continue reading “The Great Ruler’s Message – a short story”

America, The Beautiful
I’ll begin by stating that I am apolitical. I certainly have my beliefs and convictions, but I don’t believe that it’s our job as Christians to “occupy our government.”
