Way before I was born, Jack Webb played Sgt. Joe Friday on a popular tv show entitled “Dragnet”. Joe Friday’s most infamous catch phrase was “Just the facts, ma’am.” For the past 3 months we have been walking through the book of Ecclesiastes in search of answers to life’s toughest questions. As we close out…

Out with the old, and in with the new… or so they say. How was your 2016? Are there things that you wish you would’ve done differently? The week between Christmas and New Years always seems to offer us the opportunity to narrow our focus regarding time and our use or misuse of it. We…
In the first and second week of our 2016 Advent series, we’ve looked at the significance of three trees… the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the tree of life, and the tree that was used to build the manger. In each of those gatherings we opened two gifts: the gift of choice…
Last week we looked at two trees that were placed in specific locations in the Garden of Eden. God warned man about the precious gift that he was about to be given… the gift of choice. Giving a man options is the ultimate test of love. However, any abuse of this free will to choose…
