All That Glitters: Are You Selecting Spirituality Or Materiality?

Cross My Heart and then Hope To …
How many times have you ever heard someone say, “Cross my heart and hope to die!” It’s used to make it real apparent that just what the person is saying will be truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth! But seriously! It is really a dreadful affirmation! We prefer to complete that statement [...]
The Marriage Feast, From a Spiritual Point of view (Matt. 22:2-14)
We have had the pleasant privilege of officiating at a few wonderful weddings this summer, and every one is special and unique. One of the most important issues the couple deals with in the marriage planning appears to have absolutely nothing to do with the celebration. It involves who to invite! Have you ever turned [...]
