Forgiveness does not eliminate consequences, but rather, it allows God to correct and guide us. Understanding the consequences of sin can help us keep short accounts and deal with sin immediately, rather than allowing it to build up and cause harm to ourselves and others. [... more]

In a World of Betrayal, BE FAITHFUL (Pt. 1)

Betrayal is a painful and common experience, even among Christians. Jesus warned that betrayal would become more frequent in the last days, and it's already happening in our world.

To avoid this, we need to choose our friends carefully and surround ourselves with people who are loyal to God and to us. [... more]
