Life on the Family Tree
Unlike most things in life, family is the one thing we don’t get choose and it is certainly an institution God calls us to honor. But is “Family everything” as the old saying goes?
Dealing with Your Enemy
How should we deal with those whom we consider to be enemies? How do we react when they struggle?

No Honor for the Fool
So often, we listen to those who deny that God exists and take what they say as wisdom.
