It shouldn't be awkward to talk about race, specifically when you are speaking against it. Christians are called to a higher calling. Not harming people is fine, but we are called to love people

Walking shouldn't be hard. It should be natural. God wants our good works to be as natural as walking. Why isn't it?

What is our life and faith built on? Have we built any additions with poor materials? It is good to look at the foundation and examine our life.

We may feel like a sack of garbage. But God is the great artist who is turning our mess into a masterpiece.

The greastest gift given. The only gift that matters. The most costly of the gifts. The most underappreciated gift. The gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus.

The gospel or even the Christmas story doesn't have the impact it should unless we understand and acknowledge our situation: We were dead!
