Why People Do Give to Their Church... and Why They Don'tMoney is a touchy subject. It’s been said that the last thing that gets converted in a Christian’s life is their wallet.

Is Christmas Pagan? This subject is brought up every year at Christmas time. Christmas, however, is not a pagan holiday and has never been a pagan holiday. Christians should not feel guilty about celeberating the birth of the Saviour of humankind.

How to Have the Best Christmas Ever Even with all the changes 2020 has wrought, you can still enjoy Christmas. In fact, this Christmas Eve may be your most memorable one yet.

“Hey Pastor, You’re Doing It Wrong”, Everybody What a crazy time to be a pastor. The only thing you can be absolutely sure of is no matter what you do, or don’t do, church people will tell you did the wrong thing.
