God Abhors the Profane
Recently, I was asked, “Why is it wrong to use profanity and who or what determines that a particular word is profane?” Unfortunately, the proliferation of profanity has become a normal part of Generation Z (ages 6-24), Gen Y.1 (ages 25-29), Gen Y.2 (ages 30-39) and...

Samson—A Flawed Man

Give Thanks
Recently, the local news showed hundreds of vehicles waiting in long lines to pick up much needed food and supplies. Drivers that were interviewed, had their own story, but instead of complaining about their circumstances and the exceptionally long wait, they...
