It's Family! Much of the Old Testament and a fair amound of the New Testament is about family! Good family members. Bad ones. Some of them acting well, Some of them acting evilly.

Marginalized Believers The lost lambs are the ones who feel that they have to leave, sometimes never to visit a church again, all because of some misunderstanding. And we are called to seek them out.

Easter |
Sin Festers In Darkness Sin festers in darkness. It grows, it oozes, it gets into everything. It connives to bring itself to completion.
