I’m a big fan of parables. Jesus used these to help emphasize the points He was trying to make with His followers and I believe there is probably no better way to get a point across than to present it as a story. Big surprise there, right? In any case, I’ve been thinking for a…
Then David said to God, “I have sinned greatly by doing this. Now, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing.” ~1 Chronicles 21:8 NIV~ Have you ever done something you knew you should not have done? Of course we all have at one point in…
Now they sin more and more; they make idols for themselves from their silver, cleverly fashioned images, all of them the work of craftsmen. It is said of these people, “They offer human sacrifices!

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. ~1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)~ If there is one thing that completely and utterly confuses the human mind, it is the concept of love. Most people look at being in “love” as something that is vital to their very existence…
