  • Check Yourself

    Do you check your spirit? In Luke 18:9-14, the Pharisee prays self-righteously, boasting about his religious practices, including fasting twice a week and paying tithes. In contrast, the tax collector humbly prays for mercy, and Jesus highlights the tax collector’s humility. So many times, we worship and seek after the wrong things. I know this… Read more

    At Church we are corporately studying “The Purpose Driven Life.” I have read the book before but during this reading my spirit has been opened to God and my relationship to him in a brand new light.
