Be His Door!

God, why do you allow so much evil in the world? To which I heard him say “why do you?” God, why don’t you fix the poverty and sickness in the world? He exclaimed “why don’t you?” God, rid the world of hatred and war. “I could but so could you!” We have within us…

It’s A Really Big Picture!

When is the last time, you took the time, to listen to someone you disagree with?  To open your heart and mind with love, to understanding their point of view.  If there is anything Jesus taught us it is we are to have empathy and understanding for everyone.  Freedom in Christ isn’t easy… but it is necessary.  Daily I…
