Many problems arise when we spend our time looking at church people rather than the One the church belongs to.

What are you looking at?

The News Behind the News

He Didn't Save it for Us

Summer's Here!

Just as our definition of the limits of summer don't change the weather, so our attempts to explain God don't change who He really is.

And you thought summer had already begun…

Let Us Thank Him

Rubel Shelly reminds us to be thankful for even the most simple things, including our meal and the gift of food and fellowship over table.

God is great, so what are we going to do about it?

How much rest is enough?
