June 27, 2026

There is a growing movement in society, and even among some in the greater Church of God Community to say personal behavior and being a good person is more important than doctrine. In the process, doctrine slips under the guise of being a good person. The Bible shows being a good person is essential, but so is sound doctrine. In...

Our world doesn't have much peace, and often even Christians have an ill-defined understanding of it.

The Holy Spirit allows us to grow in ways we couldn't otherwise - including in spiritual maturity. But we have our part to play in becoming more spiritually mature. Let's consider some of our responsibilities today.
