Why do you follow Christ? I was thinking about this the other day. So many people have heard the sermon of fire, and few the sermon of love. Do we accept Christ into our heart solely to avoid the fires of hell? Or because we love Him and want to make Him the rightful Lord… Continue reading Fear or Love?

Blessed Assurance
Are you afraid to die? I think this concept is something most people think of from time to time. Especially after a tragedy blasts on the news or we lose a loved one. And there are times when I awaken in the middle of the night, finding it hard to breathe. When terror grips me… Continue reading Blessed Assurance
