An Old-Fashioned Word that Still Applies

"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin;how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the de...

Forgiven to Forgive

Matthew 18:21-35 What has God forgiven us for through his precious son, Jesus? There is no amount of words that could possibly encompass the magnitude of our forgiven sins. Jesus's parable about the unmerciful servant is a humbling example of the quickness of our hearts to hold onto offenses committed against us when we in fact shouldbe held accountable for our countless...

How to Protect Unity at TLC

Unity is, or should be, a primary goal in every Christian congregation. With the possible exception of ongoing rank heresy or unrepented mass wrongdoing going on there should be no reason why Spirit-led Christians cannot work through all their differences and get along.

Consider Jesus

How do you see Jesus? Years ago, I embarked on a project to research divine healing. Oddly, it led me to a Jesus I had never known growing up in church. Rather than becoming focused on healing, I became acquainted with the Healer. It was then that I learned that He made me righteous, not my behavior; His faith is perfect, so mine does not have to be.

Answered Prayers for Jennifer Lawes

The fact that this authenticity exists with True Life has prompted me to work more towards getting closer to knowing Jesus Christ. I did want to reach out a bit and say a few things on New year's but my circumstances have been a bit of a "L...
