Change. It's always somewhat, well maybe sometimes a bit difficult, to make changes in our lives, even when it's for the betterment of those around us. We simply want those things to remain the same simply because we're comfortable with the way they have always been, or we just simply like it that way.

The Book of Job is a well trodden passage, we think you'll see it once again from a different perspective.
Just when you thought we've squeezed everything we can out of the main event of The Garden, it's time to take a second look. Join us in Genesis.
Today's society ranks individuality and taste very high on the list of priorities. I like chocolate (who doesn't) and you like maple walnut. That difference works in virtually every aspect of life. Except for one. Faith...religion. That part of our lives that defines and confines our behavior in virtually every aspect of our daily lives. Today we explore the ramifications of that most important dynamic.
Getting serious about our relationship and growth with Jesus is no joke. To be serious about Christ, we need to be moving in the same direction and with as much effect as is conceivably possible. But that takes work, serious work in God's word and in prayer. If we don't, life gets pretty dicey and difficult. But, to move in the same direction, we need to take up the same yoke with Jesus, not against Him.
In ancient Greece, when a contractor completed a work task and considered well done, he reported to his employer, "tetelestai". Jesus' last words before yielding His spirit to the Father was "tetelestai". His assignment was given from all eternity, both the Father and the Son, with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, that He, Melech Yehovah Olam, "The Lord King", agreed that He, the Son, would make the way for all mankind, knowing full well before anything or anyone was created, that man, with his free will, would make the wrong choice. But God so loved the pinnacle of His creation, Man, that He Himself was willing to sacrifice Himself for the sake of reconciliation to Himself. That is more than amazing. He truly is The King.
Have you ever had a gnawing, unsatisfied need? Whether it was physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, Jesus knows that need. He experienced it Himself.
Immediately followed by the brightest it's ever been. We're discussing the longest 3 hours of darkness that breathed life back into the existence of humanity.
