The Bible is a crucial connection point between us and God. Read it daily for insight into God's character and commands.

It isn't magic. It isn't a means to control God. And it isn't salvation. Our ideas about religion can hinder our relationship with God.

The Back Story: Creation began good. Later its perfect order was broken. Jesus came BECAUSE of that; to fix it; to fix us.

The meaning of Easter goes beyond religion. We can see that in Jesus' short conversation with Mary Magdelene after He rose from the dead.

A life given to God is harder than we want. Even Jesus was tempted not to go to the cross. He calls us to persevere, as He did.

Surrender to God is part of the Christian life. Jesus served people; so should we. Who in your life needs help?
