  • Christmas & The Christian

    Christmas & The Christian

    Competitive Sports – Spiritually Healthy or Not?

    The Wedding Ring: To Wear or Not To Wear

    Is it wrong to wear a wedding ring? My husband and I used to wear our wedding rings, but later took them off because of [statements from church founders] that church members had pointed out to us.

  • God’s Will Be Done – How Do We Relate?

    God’s Will Be Done – How Do We Relate?

    I would like to know your thoughts in James 4:13-15. To me it seems superstitious when Christians qualify every day, ordinary appointments with a “God willing” or “God spares life.”
