We live in a culture and society that celebrates what God condemns. Perhaps this is not more vividly illustrated than the month of June in our country that is designated as Pride Month.

Jesus did not call the wise, wealthy, educated or the popular to be ones who would carry on His mission after He ascended to heaven.

When Jesus was put on trial by the religious elites in Jerusalem before the Roman government, many of His followers began to fear for their lives. Peter denied Christ while warming his hands by the fire outside of the judgement hall. The disciples scattered and hid. If we are honest, we probably would have done the same. However, there were some in…

However, we have to be reminded often of this newness so we can …
