I remember about a year ago, my eyes were opened and my heart was softened to serve a specific way in my church. A beloved sister at my church had battled with cancer for a while and just recently went home to be with the Lord. What struck me is t...

I grew up in a home that was nominally and hypocritically religious, but decidedly non-Christian. Raised to believe that the Bible was God’s word, I never remember a time in my life when I questioned that fact. There was a large Free Methodist U...
