How to Get What You Want

by

It’s a warm, windy, sunny day in Fayetteville. It’s too nice to be inside all day, so at lunch, I drove to a nearby park and listened to worship music while enjoying the beautiful weather. As I sat there in the park, I saw something I’d never really seen before. The sky was mostly sunny, […]

What Will It Take For You?

by

Our first parents, Adam and Eve, rebelled. They ate what they were told not to eat and that introduced sin into the human race. Ever since, we’ve been bent on going our own way. Our nature is to seek life and happiness on our own terms, not God’s. And yet all through history, God’s message […]
