The Son Makes Us Free

The Administration of Justice 

Mohammed Bouazizi is an example of the destructive consequences of injustice. He was a street vendor in Tunisia in the early 2000s. It was a dusty and poor place, and he sold fruits and vegetables from a wooden cart. It was all he could do to sustain his family.

Spiritual Equilibrium

It’s difficult to maintain our spiritual equilibrium in the moral and ethical chaos of the world we live in.  As followers of Christ, we are to have balanced relationships with those in the world.  Jesus said that we are to be in the world but not be of the world.  We’re to live life as a positive example, not allowing the world to return to mold or shape us negatively. We are not to jump head-first into the world’s value systems; however, we are not to withdraw into isolation … [Read more...] about Spiritual Equilibrium
