How Your Church Family Works: the good, the bad, and the ugly
I always wondered why God chose the church. We petty, anxious, selfish people can make a mess of His message.

Amanda is constantly hooked up to an EEG, with 28 electrode things glued to her head, limited by a 15 foot umbilical cord. Life is dull. So, on my way back from purchasing a junior bacon …
3 Lessons from the Storm
This week Howard Hendricks gave three terrific observations about the storm in Mark 4:35-41. It's when Jesus told the disciples to cross the lake at night, and the storm came up, and they were afraid they would all drown, but Jesus calmed the storm. OK, here we go...
