Oh What Love

From Kevin Funk…   I’d like to briefly talk about Ephesians 5:22-29. Open up your bibles and take your time with this. I can already hear the groans from the women. There have been hundreds of books written about these few verses. This may be one of the most controversial topics of today is that […]

The Power of a Hyphen

From Rohn Peterson… Recently in my Bible reading I ran across Titus 2:11-12 which states, “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,” There are two words in the above passage […]

It doesn’t seem that long ago that we were preparing to celebrate Jesus’ birth […]
