Shades of Gray
We can’t wait to start this new series at Friendship Church in March 2010. We’re going to be hitting head on a lot of the frustrating questions Christians often ask themselves in regards to gray areas. “What’s OK for me to do as a Christian.Can I drink? Can I smoke?Is it OK to use curse [...]

1 Corinthians 2:10 God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. To know that I have someone in my life that searches the deep things of God and that God reveals those things to us through His Holy Spirit is amazing to me! [...]

~ 1 Timothy 6:11“But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.”Sometimes we flirt with things that we shouldn’t. We tiptoe quietly behind sin thinking that we are far enough behind that we couldn’t possibly be in any danger. It’s at those times that we are [...]

Read More...Staying On Course!
Staying on the right path takes commitment, persistence, and awareness. On the other hand, straying from the right path doesn’t take much effort at all. As a matter of fact, when we find ourselves going the wrong way we don’t always understand how we got there. The apostle Paul speaks of running a good race [...]
