Study the bible with someone! Uh…where should I start?

Where do I start when I sit down to study the bible with someone who doesn’t know God?

April is…30 Days of Sit-ups & Push-ups

I declare April as… Sit-ups & Push-ups Month! “Oh yeah Lee, who do you think you are?” Well, I’m a man who seriously needs to lose a gut and gain some kind of strength. And yeah, I know, you think I should add “this and that” to these two excersizes if I’m really gonna get a [...]

Living for the Spirit of God

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. ”  Romans 8:1-2 Found in Romans chapter eight, look how Paul compares living according to the sinful nature to living according [...]

Test Your Heart Soil

Read Luke 8:1-15:  1 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God.
