Back in Zephaniah, God told the people to sing and shout! Why? Because Jesus was coming.

Think on that for a moment. The creator of the universe asking you what would you like from Him. What would be your response? Well, Solomon, the third son of King…

A survey on teen ethics asked nearly 30,000 high school students about their moral standards and behavior. Some of the results: 25% admitted to stealing from parents, relatives or friends during the past year; 33% said they had shoplifted; and 64% said they had cheated on at least one test. But most interesting of all, 77% of those students said they believe they are “better than most people” when it comes to doing the right thing!
Whether teens or adults, it’s easy to be blind to our own faults. And even when…
