The Issue of Tattoos
Several years ago I was spending an evening with a really great friend when he asked me, “So what do you want to do tonight?” I said, “I guess we could go get a tattoo!”
Don’t Let Your Older Years Become Your Colder Years
Let’s determine that this will never happen to us. Let’s determine that we will not close our lives by just being comfortable and casual in our Christianity. Let’s never get to the place where we refuse to acknowledge and repent when we are wrong. Let’s choose to live faithfully rather than pragmatically. We should be more than just tradition-defenders.

How to Handle HURTS in a Biblical and Successful Way
When someone hurts us in some way, they owe us because of that hurt. Forgiveness occurs when I realize that the one who hurt me can likely never pay the debt they owe.
