The Love of God Perfected
Too many times people around us get the wrong impression of Christ and God. It’s mostly our fault. We are the ones who are around them to show them the vast love of Christ in the way we live and the things we say. But how can we, imperfect people, EVER show the perfect love [...]

For many years I watched the NFL draft religiously. I would study the charts; look at the Colts needs and strengths; develop my own mock draft…you know the whole “nine yards” so to speak. In recent years, I’ve discovered that with or without my obsession over the draft, the Colts will pick who they pick, [...]

I’m sitting here late at night, or early morning rather, and watching a show that is profiling Tai Chi experts. This gentle form of exercise is often practiced by a much older generation.

Multiple times in the gospels we read a statement from Jesus Christ that says, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.”[this [...]

During World War II there were hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war held in Nazi concentration camps.
