The world is polarizing over religion. It is getting both more religious and less religious at the same time.

How Religion Works: If I obey, then God will love and accept me. The Gospel: I'm loved and accepted, therefore I wish to obey.

To pray is to accept that we are, and always will be, wholly dependent on God for everything.

Marriage is two broken people having little broken people.

Gifts are abilities God gives us to meet the needs of others in Christ’s name.

The gospel frees us from the relentless pressure of having to prove ourselves, for we are already proven and secure.

Many people think of the Bible as a book of moral teachings with stories sprinkled through to illustrate the teachings. But it's a lot BETTER THAN THAT...the Bible is a single true story with teachings sprinkled through to illustrate the story.
