Battle Plan for Addiction
There is a battle raging inside all of us – a battle between what we want now & what’s best in the long-term. The question that could change it all… Why battle a temptation tomorrow when we have the power to eliminate it today? Will we put safeguards in place to keep us from going…
Time to Throw a Punch
Winning the battles of life aren’t just about slaying the giants. Winning the battle is about taking one small step in the right direction. Whatever your battle is, it’s time to take a step for what’s most important!
For the World
The Bible did not create Christianity. Christianity is the result of an event (the resurrection) that created a movement (the church) that produced sacred and reliable texts that were collected and bound into a book (the Bible). But how do we approach not being at peace with everything we read in the Bible? Paul—the apostle,…
