Integrity; February 2, 2025


1 John 2:4-5 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we … Continue reading

Perfection; January 8, 2025


John 12:43 For they loved human praise more than praise from God. What a sad but common commentary! So much of the time we live our lives for our human audience, performing in ways that we think will get us applause, … Continue reading
