ACCEPTANCE
I love the fact that God has promised to never reject anyone who comes to Him. Yes, this is a promise from God. You may think that my behavior is not acceptable, but God makes us acceptable “in Him,” meaning in Jesus Christ. If you have faith in Jesus, you are considered to be “in […]

I love this time of year, or at least I’ve convinced myself that I do. I often think that I reminisce of how I’d like to remember Christmas more than I actually love this most wonderful time of the year. With the kids jingle-belling and everyone telling you be of good cheer, well that’s just […]

There are many ways to describe yourself. Many times we describe ourselves by what we have done, or who we know or by our occupation. But when you read the Gospel of John, John the author describes himself as someone who is loved by Jesus and he also says, I am the one who leaned […]
