I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.-Romans 12:1 Romans 12:1 states to present your bodies a living sacrifice. A sacrifice is a place, an act or a victim. To present is to exhibit or yield. We are...
The other day, Dana came downstairs and asked, “Frank, why is every kid in this house crying?” It is probably not my best parenting lesson, but we will return to that; let’s start by saying Joshua Gary. I probably do not need to go further than that but let me explain. I love how God...
For us who accept the Biblical stories as the accounts and recordings of the Intervention of G-d in human history and not mere myths, the account of the Tower of Babel lends great insight into what is taking place today in modern history. Particularly, in regards to the social and political evolution we are witnessing....
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14, ESV) ““Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).” (Matthew 1:23, ESV) I...

They will prepare for this day with food and gifts shared with family and friends. Many will not even think about what this day represents. Those who know Jesus as their Savior will...

Do we pray more often, longer, louder, memorize more Scriptures, attend more Bible studies and Church services? Although all these things are fine, however...
