God’s love is sacrificial love God’s love is not self serving God’s love is self propagating It multiplies itself when it is given How do we see God’s love? When was God’s love revealed?

No Room in the Inn Have you ever had anyone give you directions and then add the words, “You can’t miss it!”? How many of us have heard those words only to completely miss it? It is possible to miss something, even with it right in front of you! Did you know most people miss Christmas every year? That may sound like a ridiculous statement, particularly in America, where holiday advertisements bombard us starting right after Labor Day. Yet many folks who participate in Christmas celebrations are oblivious to the true reality of what it is they are celebrating. They2020-12-21T21:36:30-06:00December 20th, 2020|

The Wonder of the Cross Mark 15 Thought: Before Christ, the cross was despised. It was a symbol of the worse kind of cruelty and barbarity imaginable. The purpose of the cross was to execute criminals in the most hideous means, producing the greatest amount of pain and agony over an extended time. But, after Christ’s death on the cross, this despised symbol became a representation of unconditional love. It came to signify sacrifice and forgiveness representing the whole Christian faith. It went from an article of shame and reproach to pride and praise among the faithful. The2020-10-20T14:43:45-05:00October 18th, 2020|
