Silencing The Critics
When we criticize or judge others we hurt one another, we are judging the Law, we are playing 'god' and exalting ourselves. James makes it very clear that as believers, we are not to speak evil against one another and that there is only one Judge and Lawgiver.

Prophet-able Correction
When the prophet Nathan rebukes David for his sin with Bathsheba, we are given a powerful reminder of our call as followers of Jesus Christ to admonish one another, in love, when a brother or sister strays.

The Porch Light's On
"Home…" At it's very best, "home" is a place we all long for…a place that is safe…a place we are unconditionally loved…a place we can let our hair down and know that we will not offend….a state of being…secure…safe…at ease…."home". So many in our day have not experienced this kind of "home" in growing up, nor have they understood the offer of "home" that our heavenly Father extends to us. Instead of seeing a loving Father waiting at the door, they have feared an angry God. But the New Testament paints a much different picture of God – and maybe its an image you need to embrace. The image of the porch light being left on at night…the picture of a daddy worried sick as He waits for His runaway child to come home. The truth is, we are ALL runaways in our own way. Some of us have begun the journey home, others still need to turn around…but ultimately we walk the same path. Maybe it's time you headed for home. The porch light is on…the door is unlocked…the family is waiting! Key Passage: Luke 15:11-31
