Why is there beauty in this world? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself this question? I did, just the other day as I noticed a beautiful sunrise.

Are You Muddy?

What is Your Image of Jesus?
Merry Christmas! As we celebrate the day Jesus crossed from eternity into mortality, I want to ask you something - how do you picture Jesus? Is He a helpless baby in a manger? Is He a rock star thronged by the masses? Is He the compassionate healer who reaches out to the hurting …
The Son Makes All the Difference
