Love to Tell the Story

God ever and always "colors outside the lines;" and by the inspiration of his Holy Spirit, He calls you and I to do the same thing!

As diverse as we are in the church, Jesus prays that we “may all be one!”

To "keep the faith" in these days requires the kind of peace that only Jesus can provide!

Ours is the God who promises to make all things new, but in the meantime you and I live "between the now and not yet."

Even as we walk along life's most difficult roads, we are never alone but ever in the presence of the loving Savior!

Nicodemus came to Jesus by night with more questions than he ever expected... but left with the most important answer of all!

Some thoughts on Humility, Grace and Ash Wednesday...

When it comes to LOVE, we also have to talk about Jesus' call to love our enemies!

As God gives it and intends for it to be give, LOVE is something that's ever changing, growing and deepening over time!

Love, as Paul describes it, is "a more excellent way..." but it is also, and always, our choice!

Love is truly "a more excellent way," and needs to have first priority in our lives!

As we truly come to know Jesus, we are confronted with the challenge of living what we already understand to be true!

Ours is the God who in infinite mercy and love takes us by the hand and leads us along good pathways!

The start of a new year is time for making resolutions, and for people of faith, that includes choosing who you will serve!
