Gift of Perspective

12.21.08

We are living a fast paced material world where it is so easy to lose our perspective.
Money is such a driving force that often leaves us in chaos and discontent in attempting to get what others are getting or have the newest or latest items.
As Christians we have to answer questions like, "do I really need that?" "How much is enough?" What should I do with my money? Can I be comfortable living in abundanceand still be spiritual? Should I give all I have to the poor and destitute? Should I give anything at all?

Building Unity in the Body - Part 2

11.29.08

Christian unity is not found in uniformity, organization, (programs) or a particular church, but rather in Jesus and our commitments to His teachings, and living them out in our lives … it is only as we join together with others who look different than we do but share a common love and commitment to the Truth that is Jesus, that we can know the completeness of the body of Christ.” – Bob Snyder (WRp.353)
