Moving Forward on Faith Without All the Answers
“Sometimes we just have to trust God enough to go even when we don’t have all the answers.” -Tim TebowSo as a UGA fan, I didn’t care for him when he played, but I certainly admire his commitment to the Gospel and believe he’s a faithful servant.

It’s been a long week and I’ve enjoyed our readings and have had some good conversations springing up from them. One of which came up this week about trust. It came up in the context of one of you said, “I can count on and trust you sending the morning devotional.” That has sat on me a while and...

- Gossip
Stopping Gossip and Believing the Best in Others
I don’t know about you but I’ve got to do better at turning off gossip when I hear it.

It seems as if now days we believe the negative stuff about people more than the positive stu...

What do the people around yo...

Grace. What is it exactly? I mean I sign off with,“Grace wins” everyday, but what exactly am I talking about? Well, in the book of Romans, Paul tells us that we can’t receive God’s favor, become righteous, by works alone. Meaning simply obeying the laws of the land wouldn’t get us His favor. So,...
