The Word of God tells us what love is and what it is not. We often don’t realize that our personal definitions and the definition from scripture don’t line up. We may be able to quote the love chapter (1 Corinthians 13), but still don’t realize all the clauses that we have added to… Read More
We need to feel loved
The need to feel loved is a primary human emotional need. To get it, we’ll climb mountains, ford streams, sail across seas, traverse deserts, and endure incredible hardships. Without it, we tire out in the foothills, hate to get our feet wet, get seasick, make it only as far as the first oasis, and bail… Read More

Ephesians 2:4-10 We neither make nor save ourselves
There’s no way I can pull myself up by my boot straps to be good enough for God–which is the perfection in which He created us and placed it. We chose and daily choose against him–you’d think he’d be so sick of it and us that He’d throw us far away so we wouldn’t hurt… Read More
