By: Janet Thompson Rejection cuts like a knife, straight to the heart of our self-confidence and self-worth. Many of us can remember feeling insecure in high school, desperately wanting to be popular and accepted.

Sacrifice: America’s Christian Heritage
By: Rhema"Where there is no vision, the people perish" Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)I recently went on a trip to Plymouth, Massachusetts and traveled down the East Coast to Washington D.C. with a group of people from my church.

Ditching the Status Quo
By YvonneRomans 12:2 (ESV) tells us “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Whenever I do something, I think about this verse. Do I look like the world instead of looking like God? But before we keep going; what is the status quo?
