The other night we were doing our FX family devotion tool after dinner. FX is the family worship service we do at Cross Point which is designed to provide environments for parents and kids to discover the Word of God together as a family.

I think all to often in Christian circles we view spiritual transformation as something that should always be charted up and to the right. While I wish this was true the reality is it isn’t, is it? I love to study the life of the apostle Peter. I’ve got way too much in common with [...]

I was reading THIS article the other night and it had a startling quote in there from H.B. London, head of pastoral ministries for Focus on the Family.
