Why are we surprised?

Posted on February 8, 2023February 8, 2023 by Carl Van Vliet

I often wonder why we are surprised when the world acts worldly. The scripture clearly tells us that the world will in fact act worldly, yet we seem utterly shocked by the worldliness of the world. Yes, I am in fact playing on words here. The world is going to do what the world does….

Living out a culture of Prayer

Posted on August 8, 2022August 8, 2022 by Carl Van Vliet
