A New Year, A New You? Is that even a Biblical statement?Is is wise to take each new year as an opportunity to become a new person?According to God's word - it ABSOLUTELY is! Taking the opportunity to become a 'new' person is not simply a wise practice to return to every year, but actually a necessary daily practice for the genuine follower of Christ.

James 1:22-25But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.

But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, t...  Read More

Who and what is leading you? The other day my youngest son stood beside me and repeated “Dad, Dad, Dad, come here” I said to him that I was doing something important.
