Pump the Brakes Spiritually

January 4, 2015 - Why is it important to pay attention to my soul? Most believe that the soul exists, yet they have a hard time defining one of the most important words in the Bible.

November 30, 2014 - It’s no secret that the best part of Thanksgiving is considered the Left overs of food that we get to eat throughout the next couple of days.

In fact he wants ALL of our love. Not just a buddy kind of love, not similar to the love of our favorite animal, but the kind of love he showed us by sending His Son to die a brutal death kind of love.
