From the Cave You Came
From the cave You came to us, David’s descendent, of the Holy Ghost. An angel appeared, “Joseph, she’s with holy child; Immanuel’s here!†The magi saw Your star, it guided them to You bearing precious gifts. From the cave You came to us; the way was prepared by Your messenger. John the Baptist preached, a voice in the wilderness: “Repent, be baptized! “A man greater than I, a mere unworthy slave, will baptize with...
Don’t miss the wrapping!
As the Christmas season comes, and we tear quickly into the gifts given, it’s easy to rush past the wrapper they’re contained in. But in our haste to experience the benefits and blessings, we can often do the same with Jesus. Just imagine… Jesus, the greatest gift ever given, was God wrapped in flesh!

I took my cup to worship, and even raised it in the Rain, But before I left for home I found my cup was already drained....
How Judging Makes You A Better Christian
Many people believe the Bible condemns judging others, but is this true? The Bible has much to say on this subject, and often in a positive light. Everyone Judges In a practical sense, we judge every day. Every one of us. Who decides if a rapist is wrong? A murderer? Is it wrong to make an informed judgment about whether a person should care for your children, have a key to your home, or be alone with your spouse? Is it wrong to judge...
The Problem With Society’s Love Lie
What is Love? I love God. I love lasagna. I love that song. I love my neighbor. I love their accent. I love my wife. Not only do those phrases share unequal value, they literally mean different things. I don’t love my wife in the same way I love a song, nor do I love my neighbor the way I love lasagna.
