Serious Joy

We have an example, a great power, and a great friend in Jesus Christ to stand against temptation.

The praise of men is an intoxication temptation. If we fall into it's lure, we lose the reward of our Father.

There is danger in doing the right things for the wrong reasons. Glory belongs to God. Let us not be thieves.

Our testimony of God's goodness can be seen in how well we treat those who don't treat us well.

Christ calls us to a better response when we are treated poorly by others. He empowers us in that better response through his assurance of a better possession in eternity.

Let what you say be simply "Yes" or "No".

The strongest defense we have for protecting our marriages is the picture we have of Christ and the Church.

We go to great lengths to defend and protect what is important to us...property, rights, relationships. To what lengths will we go to defend and protect our relationship with Christ?

Jesus calls us to a ministry and message of radical reconciliation that requires humility and a desire for peace.

The law points us to Christ for salvation.
