A Rule of Life for Technology
Our church has been in a sermon series this month, talking about the dangers of technology in regards to our spiritual formation.

When God might be saying no to a good thing…
Have you ever had what seemed to be an open door in front of you, but you weren’t sure if you should move forward? Life is full of decisions and opportunities.
