Journey to Contentment Part #1
1Timothy 6:6 says that godliness with contentment is gain. And so it occurred to me that godliness (acting like God) without contentment is NOT gain. That is a pretty radical statement when you stop and…

Seeking Christ Wrongly
Is it possible to seek Christ for evil reasons? Absolutely. Herod did in this passage and sadly, people still do today. And yet even though this type of thing has been going on for centuries, it still…
