"I Choose You!" (Ephesians 1:3-6)

He did this by predestining us to adoption as his legal heirs through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his will—to the praise of the…

God's Surprises

A surprise of monumental proportions was when God raised Jesus from the dead!

The Debt He Paid Was Yours

The Debt He Paid Was Yours

I’m still in the afterglow of the resurrection and savoring what it meant to us. The stone was rolled away. He is alive and so are we – to live forever. I held onto this story for today. One of my guilty pleasures is watching some reality shows of which one is American Idol and one of the judges is Lionel Richie. From all the years of appreciating Lionel’s music as a couple, I’ve enjoyed the…

Sometimes that includes projects we’ve written about on the site already; sometimes it’s just made up of great records that we want everyone to hear, but never got the chance to write about. The result is neither comprehensive nor fair. We hope it helps.
