The Right Place

Jesus had just fed 5,000 men (the total crowd was probably close to 15,000 if women and children had been counted). He told His disciples to go ahead and cross the sea because He wanted some time alone with Father God to pray. At evening, the disciples climbed inside their boat and began the journey. […]

Liar! (Part 6)

In John’s short five-chapter book of 1 John, he describes six types of liars. We’ve already looked at four. Let’s take a peek at the next one: #5: People who say they love God but really love the world. “Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers you, for when you love these […]
