The Bible teaches that, Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The reverse can also be true: that where our hearts are, that is where we put our treasure. So if all this is true, why do we spend so much money on earthly things? Well, it’s because our hearts are hard. But when we give back to God what He has given to us, we have the …

I need just a little peace and quiet. That’s something we’ve all said on occasion.

John 19:28 It’s hard for us to fully embrace the idea that Jesus Christ was as much a man as he was God. But along with the miracles he performed as the Son of God, he also experienced humanity as deeply as we do. One clear example we see is when he said he was thirsty while being crucified. Jesus was human after all, and if he was going save us, i…

Romans 6:1-14 The Bible calls us saints, which means "holy ones," because God has separated us from sin and blessed us for His service.

2 Corinthians 5:14-6:2 Most people seem to ask the wrong questions about God. Does God exist? Why is there so much evil in the world? If God is loving, why is there suffering?
