We Have a Motive!

“Motive” is the reason behind a decision or action. Knowing why we would do something can be one of the best evidences for if we do something. When a prosecutor is trying to convince a jury to convict a defendant for murder, it may all hinge on whether or not they present a reasonable motive for the crime. If a jury can…

Sincerely Wrong

A couple years ago, I made a new friend. In no time at all, we grew close and so did our wives. When my birthday came along, he wanted to surprise me by giving me my favorite cake. So, after we finished dinner, he revealed a big, beautiful, coconut cream cake. There was only one problem. I hate coconut! Apparently, I once…

Do you struggle with procrastination? There are few things that are more tempting than setting a task or decision aside until a more convenient time.

Everywhere you go, people seem a little happier and a little friendlier, especially in the church. For many of us, the biggest care on our minds is finding that perfect gift for a loved one. Seeing the look on someone’s face when they open…
