Precious in His Sight
I am disappointed in the lack of response from the church as a whole, myself included. My hope is this would encourage each of us to take seriously the ministry of reconciliation given to all believers.
The Unplanned Triumph
In its opening weekend, the Pro-Life film, Unplanned, hit theaters and rose to number four in the box office.

Society & The Squad
This past weekend, the latest summer blockbuster Suicide Squad premiered. Full of DC Comics villains and some of the world’s greatest heroes, it took to the big screen to tell a story common for most films of the superhero movie genre, with a slight twist.

A Greed Observed
The Problem: Materialism. In America today, this could debatably be one of our greatest issues we face.

And no holiday better symbolizes this problem than BlackContinue reading “A Greed Observed”
