It’s good being in his company. It’s not because he’s clever – that’s a useful bonus from time to time, but it’s not his brains that makes him such good company. It’s not because he’s generous – that’s wonderful to know and very touching from time to time. There’s more to it than that. It’s […]
Read More Joy in RelationshipsAs He sat to teach His disciples on the hill about Kingdom living, He addressed a number of righteous acts that were already taking place in regular life. His issue was not about the acts themselves, His concern was about the motives. Have you noticed how often in society, there’s a focus on the self? […]

Read More King Jesus Says – Don’t Retaliate, Go the Extra MileOne of the things that is promised is the clean sweep. That last person left a right mess – is the assertion.
