Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who have come to you, who entered your house, for they have come to search out all the land.” Joshua 2:3 (ESV) Sometimes committees who try to discern the will of God can be too large. Sometimes too many heads are too Read More

Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

Books with advice on how to fix relationships have made authors millions of dollars (probably billions). The subject of broken relationships is certainly a hot topic today. Meanwhile, rioters vent in unproductive ways, people shoot or stab others, marriages crumble and political factions irritate each other like a large cyst on the sole of your Read More
