Living Worthy of The Gospel
Editor’s Note: This is a guest story by Tiffany Wright. Find links to follow Tiffany below! Philippians 1:27 NIV says “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the Gospel.” What is worthy of the gospel?

Daddys Home
It's that sigh of relief when you hear the garage door open and the kids start jumping up and down or when he texts and says, "be home soon". It's a moment like no other. Your partner, your love, your friend, your help...he's home.

The Black Cat: Scripture vs Superstitions
I was almost home when I turned the corner and continued to down the street. All of a sudden a black cat darted from one side of the street to the other. At once my mind said, “Oh no! That’s bad luck!” I quickly realized the thought and rejected it. “I don’t believe in superstitions anymore!” I said back to the thought. I continued, “I believe in God’s word not in superstitions,”

Are You Ready for a Transformation?
