Go And Sin No More
You will always struggle with temptation. You don’t have to always struggle with sin. In the Bible, Jesus said a couple times to people “Go and sin no more”. One instance was to the woman at the well: Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of…

Christmas Reflections Part Two
The first place in the Bible that mentions the word worship is in Genesis 22, in the story of Abraham and Isaac. This story is centered around sacrifice.

Great Big God
I recently went to Gatlinburg with some friends and we stayed in this incredible mountain-top cabin. I use the word “cabin” very loosely. This place was a huge, multi-level, multi-room, multi-amenity house designed especially for big groups. But the bread-and-butter of this already heavenly-home, is the spectacular mountain top view of the Tennessee valley below.…
