"Go God!" Only when I things go right.

Are you a “fair-weathered fan”? When a team, person, or cause someone is supporting starts to lose its position, some people stop supporting their team and start cheering on the more popular team or person.  That is a fair-weathered fan. Are you that way with your...

Temptation

Temptation: A desire or craving for something, especially something considered wrong. Yesterday after church we went out to eat. The first thing I saw beautifully photographed was a delicious dessert called molten lava. Mmmmmm, this chocolate cake filled with hot...

Don't be afraid

Storms of life. Boy do we have some.  Some storms are more difficult than others.  But when you are going through your specific storm, no matter how big or small, it is still a time of difficulty for you. Within the past two days I have heard of “storms” in people’s...

Math/Life Lessons

You choose.

My pastor, Dr. Michael Lewis, has been preaching a sermon series titled “Fan or Follower” based on the tags on Facebook and Twitter.  He has demonstrated how a “fan” is more like someone who knows about God, cheers Him on, is a bit confused about eternal life, and...
