“I tell you the truth, there is more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents then over a thousand righteous persons who do not need to repent.” If that’s so true, why am I so defensive about making a mistake, messing up? Why do I go to church looking like my life is all [...]

In a way, I wish I had an elaborate story about some life-changing event that led me to the undeniable realization of God’s existence. However, I don’t have a thrilling story like that to tell and I’m sure I have this in common with a lot of believers. But the only reason I would want [...]
