And it’s a real problem, not just for their a...  Read More

"Don’t worry about anything" - Philippians 4:6 Let’s be honest. Worry is something most of us carry way too often. You might not say you’re a worrier out loud, but if we looked at your thoughts during the day, or especially at night when things get quiet, we’d probably find some anxiety hanging around.

So glorify God with your body." - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 When the Bible says your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, it is not just a poetic phrase. It is a fact.

"You are not your own, for you were bought at a price. So glorify God with your body." - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 What determines value? Is it age, rarity, or condition? Most people think value is based on what something is made of or how long it has lasted. But the truth is simple. Value is set by what someone is willing to pay. I read about a baseball card that sold for $12.6 million. It was a 1952...  Read More
