God I feel so lost. I come to you asking for help… asking for guidance. I’m not sure what to do. My future wife is pregnant, and it is not mine. How can I stay with her? She is disgraced among our people. How can I be expected to raise this baby, as if it…
We live in a country that is divided. Not since the civil war has there been so much division. The Christ I love is about unity. As we celebrate the coming of our Savior my thoughts turn to nothing but his arrival. The Christ that came to save us is about love. When Jesus came…

“It’s easier for a camel to go thru the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom.” Is that speaking of money? Is that speaking of those that seek material riches? Could Jesus have been talking of power? Of religious elite? Was he talking about those that think their rich…
How can we presume to make someone or something soiled that God has created. Peter was told by Jesus to eat of what he considered to be unclean. “How can you worry about what you consider unclean when God has already made it clean and purified it”. Don’t we do that with people? Through judgment…
