Would Your Family Know What To Do Next if You Died? (NavLife)

100 Years of Clutter Created the First Thanksgiving (The Pilgrims 1)

Government begins with you governing you
This year we look— as we do every four years— at a "historical election." Let's be honest about it. The last one was historical. As was the one before that. And the one before that. And, yes, even the one before that… In fact, they're all "historical." But what matters more than a "historical"...

The 2020 Election & the Media

Active Waiting (James 5)

It Comes From Within (James 4)
Whereas we tend to think that trouble comes from "out there," James tells us to do something shocking: take a look in the mirror. In chapter 4, he outlines what worldliness look like, as well as what Godliness looks like. And, as James tends to be, he's pretty "cut and dry" in his assessments....
-
Visible Wisdom (James 3)
In chapter 3, James takes us from "invisible faith" (James 2) to "visible wisdom."

Furthermore, James defines what the wisdom of...
-
Invisible Faith (James 2)

The Begats of Geneaology (Throwback #5)
Tim Yarbrough introduces this "throwback" talk in which George discusses how God uses covenantal succession through people… even the unexpected people.
