How Much Sin Will God Forgive?
First of all, we all sin. Sin is very real in our lives. We do many things that aren’t pleasing to God.

How Good is Good Enough?
Throughout history, religious leaders preached a familiar message. It went something like this: If you're good, really good all the time, then just maybe you'll be good enough to get into heaven. Of course, no one really knew where the cut-off point was.
Is 50% goodness good enough?

Do You See?
"See what you have to look forward to now?"
The whisper in my ear made my smile widen. It was Dec. 10th and we were on our first outing with our new baby. She was only 10 days old, but we braved the frigid Yukon winter to attend the Christmas pageant at a small mission church.

I Want my Baby Back
I wanted my life to go back to normal, but nothing could change the fact that I would always miss my baby.
My baby died at only 5 weeks of gestational age. The doctor referred to him as a "blighted ovum" or a case of "failure to develop", but he was so much more than that to me. Wrapped up... >Read More
