I love the church! When I say that, I don't mean I love MY church, I mean I love the "Big C" church. The Bible talks about Christ loving the church so much that he gave himself for it (Ephesians 5:25-32). That's a lot of love! It's a love that doesn't come easy to us, but neither is it optional for us.

Another month and another fresh batch of great music to tell you about. Listen for these new tunes as you tune in this September on Your Good News Network! TobyMac sends us into autumn with “Faithfully” – the sixth single from his Life After Death release. While the passing of Toby’s son Truett is at the root of this song, it speaks of God’s goodness and presence that’s in all of our lives, no matter how dark things may get. He will never leave us or forsake us.
During this time of the year, my wife and I sometimes sit in the backyard looking up at the sky on a clear night. As we watch the stars twinkle and peer into the depth of the universe, our conversations can turn deep as well. We contemplate many things as we chat in our chairs. Consider. Ponder. Think about.
