I love Facebook. I know I shouldn’t – it’s filled with a lot of nonsense. But it’s been great connecting with friends I haven’t seen in decades and I actually enjoy some of the banter. In the past couple days, though, I’ve seen a lot of comments about how we should deal with Syrian refugees…

I’ve been thinking a lot about why we don’t tell people that we see in our daily life about how Jesus has changed our lives and that we want Him to change theirs, too! I’ve come up with the obvious reasons in the past: Uncomfortable pushing religion on people I don’t know what to say…

These past 10 days or so have been a little difficult. I have found myself in the awkward and uncomfortable position of having to correct a couple of my fellow Christians regarding their actions, which is never fun. I keep asking myself the same question: “What is wrong with these people? Why can’t they do…
