Human beings are biased. We can’t help it. There are several things that contribute to this. Our upbringing and the information that we are taught by our environment contributes to our bias. Some cultures are based on class systems and unfortunately, it is normal in those cultures to teach people to judge others based on the classes they fall into. You may come from a culture like that. Some of you may experience bias and prejudice regularly in your daily life. People might judge you based on the country you are from or the color of your skin. Bias is but one way that sin manifests itself in the world today.

Dominion by Tom Holland – Book Review
This book presents a compelling case that without the influence of Christianity, the entire framework from which arguments about human rights are made wouldn’t exist.
Increased Tribalism is Not the Answer
Red vs Blue.
Divisions by race, gender, education, or vaccination status. Are you in my tribe, or are you against me. This is no way to live.
No Peace on Earth, No Good Will for Men
“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;

With peace on earth, good-will to men.”
Made for Meaning
Disney and Marvel certainly know how to make money. They own most of the entertainment content that has been profitable on TV and at the movies in recent years. Their latest release is a new branch in the expanding Marvel universe, simply entitled, Eternals. The one sentence description reads, “The saga of the Eternals, a race of immortal beings who lived on Earth and shaped its history and civilizations.” That sounds pretty significant, doesn’t it? These beings by their actions have made key differences throughout the history of our world. This is a fantasy that calls to the core of our lives, the desire for our lives to matter, to make a difference.
Be What You Are
In spite of our imperfection, in spite of our sin, God loves us and our testimony to the world is of confident adopted children who should never doubt the continuing, never finishing love of our Heavenly Father. We live as those who are loved by the one who understands who we are at a deeper level than any human ever can.
The Sanctity of Human Life and the Limits of Human Compassion
We are “salt and light” and that doesn’t happen with our votes or with our likes, it happens with our hands, our feet and our voices.
James, the Brother of Jesus
James was the half-brother of Jesus. Jesus was his brother, but He became his savior.
Tidings of Great Joy!
The Bible is filled with passages talking about the joy that fills Christian’s lives, but why are so many on empty?
Distracted, Divided, Dependent
Someone wants you distracted. Someone wants you divided. Someone wants you dependent. You have a choice.
