How much forgiveness?
Yesterday one of my coworkers wanted me to respond to a Facebook status she had written and was beginning to get comments on. I have taken the liberty to post her question and the responses that followed – including mine. Continue reading
Called early?
“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” Jer 1:5

I only have a vague memory of that year and so I’m not sure what each of those 7th graders have gone on to do. Continue reading
New Birth – New Life
Last time I took a look at the birth of Jesus, which probably wasn’t on December 25th but then no one knows for sure.
