Don’t try to pronounce these places – Aiath, Migron, Michmash, Gallim, Laishah, Anathoth, Madmenah, and others. Not only are the pronunciations forgotten, so are these places.

You are what you eat, so they say. That must be true because I love doughnuts and I am soooo sweeeet! Of course, some may argue that like a doughnut I have a hole in the middle of head too! But seriously, we are what we worship. The following axiom has the power to challenge […]

The Way You Drive What does our driving style say about us, and more importantly, about our relationship with Jesus? Are we slow, fast, cautious, dangerous, courteous, or rude?

So what can they do? “Personality Type” books such as “The Enneagram” lists 9 distinct personalities. In the Enneagram, Type Three is often known as […]
