Verse of the Day: John 11:35~
Two small words. Yet they speak volumes about our Savior. These two words show us, maybe more than any other passage in scripture, the humanity of Christ. His compassion. His investment in His friendships. How deeply he loved, and how intensely he felt sorrow. Even though He already knew the future outcome of the day’s … Continue reading Verse of the Day: John 11:35~
Verse of the Day: Philippians 1:3
I think it can be so easy for us to pass over so many of Paul’s greetings in his epistles.We are eager to read what he has to say as instruction to the churches.

The Current Crisis of Christian Deconstruction
Deconstruction. It's a word that is becoming all too well-known in Christianity. And not in a good way. For those not regularly reading articles online or watching YouTube videos, this word may not have much meaning to you. But it's one that we need to be aware of, as it is becoming a troubling trend … Continue reading The Current Crisis of Christian Deconstruction
“Should I let my child participate in a school field trip to a Buddhist temple?”
I am a member of several Christian social media groups. Some pages are for men and women, and some are just women's groups.
