14: Building Each Other Up In The Home

     In the last issue I talked about God’s call for us to build one another up. I continue to notice this in my reading of the New Testament this summer. (Some of these scriptures are listed at the end.) I would like to follow…

13: The Last Shall Be First

     When someone is in authority they are generally in a leadership position, in control, and on top of the heap. This is what we naturally associate with authority. Jesus affirmed that this is the standard definition in this world, but then he redefined…

12: Our Father’s Business

8: Choose Life
