What Matters is on the Inside
Our actions actually stem from the heart. And Jesus knew this very well. He did not want people to only stop at cleaning up our act on the outside, but uproot sin from where it all begins. For example, most people are careful not to murder or steal or commit adultery. But sin starts… Continue reading What Matters is on the Inside

Dogs are loved, so much so that they are even called “man’s best friend.” In Scripture, however, dogs are mentioned about 40 times but not as your cute and cuddly companion. In ancient days, comparing a human to a dog was to imply that they were of lowly status. (2 Kings 8:13; 2 Samuel 3:8; Ecclesiastes 9:4;… Continue reading Dogs in the Bible
