The Bible teaches that all sin begins with sinful thinking.

Even our pets can become idols.

As this New Year begins, ask God to help you tune your life every day to His Word, so you can bring harmony and joy to those around you.

God doesn't owe us anything yet in His grace, He still gives us good things.

If ever there was a time this country needed the intervention of God, it is now. We can and should pray for America as a whole, but remember that when God sets out to change a nation, He begins by changing people. It starts with individuals.

America is said to have the highest per capita boredom of any spot on earth! We know that because we have the greatest number of artificial amusements of any country. People have become so empty that they can't even entertain themselves. They have to pay other people to amuse them, to make then laugh, to try to make them feel warm and happy and comfortable for a few minutes, to try to lose that awful, frightening, hollow feeling-that terrible, dreaded feeling of being lost and alone.

The cross shows us the seriousness of our sin-but it also shows us the immeasurable love of God.
