The Word, Life, and Light of Christmas

In the Gospels we find different accounts of when Jesus came down to earth to live with us for a while so He could be the sacrifice needed to save us from our sins and reconcile us to God. Matthew begins with the genealogy of Jesus, then moves to a few events leading...

Pursuing Holiness

Holiness is being set apart for and because of God. But you can't just sit around and wait for holiness to catch you. Holiness is something you have to pursue, to chase, to go after. While it is something you certainly cannot achieve without God, there is some work...
