ANXIOUSLY SEEKING

What is the most important question each person must face in life? I believe it is: Who is this Jesus, the one many claim to be the King of Kings.

APOCALYPSE NOW

We live in a world that is obsessed with the apocalypse. The general public's fear that we are facing the end of world is reflected in pop culture--our movies, our books, and our television shows. The sad truth is we have good reason to expect the apocalypse. This world is a dangerous, unstable place where terrorists, extremists, and megalomaniacal leaders are willing to use violent ends to extend their influence and power, even if it means using weapons of mass destruction. How should Christians face these seemingly apocalyptical times?

LOVE WITHOUT LIMITS

We live in a world where people pay more attention to Miley Cirus, Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga  than they do God. Both Moses and Jesus taught the importance of the Shema: God is one.

This kind of love without limits establishes a strong foundation for living that cannot be shaken even by the bad influences that try to infiltrate our lives from every side.

SEEKING ANSWERS FROM GOD

We live in a difficult world where bad things can happen to good people. Job struggled to understand why God allowed him to suffer. To Job's credit, he did not turn away from God. He persisted in his relationship and grew in understanding. Sometimes in the midst of suffering we make our deepest connection to God.

ESTHER THE PROTECTOR

How important is it for Christians to protect the vulnerable in our midst?

THE MASTER'S MASTER PLAN

John Lennon's lyrics from the song "Imagine" call upon mankind to forget heaven and hell, to not be concerned with eternity, but rather live for today. According to the song, if everyone did this we would live as one because the enmity and strife caused by religion would be eliminated. But what does the scriptures teach about God's master plan to give us peace and make us one? Hmmmmm . . . .

Most people think happiness is doing what you want to do when you want to do it. But is true happiness really about what you want or doing what God wants you to do.

STAR STRUCK

The Magi were amazing people. Like an archeologist who spends years on a dig and finally discovers an ancient tablet, these Magi spent years studying the stars and ancient religious writings and prophecy.
