When Jesus came to Earth, He laid aside His divine attributes and wrapped Himself in a human body so that He would be able to be our Savior and example.

Paul told us to remember the words of our Lord, "It is more blessed to give than receive!" I hope that you care discovering, or rediscovering, the joy of giving in this Christmas season!

Both God and man have a wish list, but there are differences between them.

As Hebrews chapter 10 closes, the Holy Spirit confronts us with another are we tend have discrepancies between what we say we believe and what we actually live out.

Sometimes we slip into thinking that God is concerned with what we believe more than what we do. We come to church and study the Bible to develop a strong foundation for our faith...but what about our actions?

We can talk all day about God, but if our talk never turns into action then we don't have faith, we merely have knowledge. To live for Christ is to live forward.

We become holy as we are maturing in Christ... we mature in Christ as we are discipled, and through the process of discipleship we form daily habits to feed ourselves.

We already have God's approval through faith in Jesus Christ, so let's pursue God and actively seek a relationship with Him.
