It is on the cross that we find that we are perfectly loved, completely forgiven, and wonderfully reconciled to God.

Is religion the cause of all wars or the excuse for all wars? And regardless of their how should faithful pacifists and faithful solders care for each other.
‘Wisdom comes with age’ they say. However it is not something we pick up with a pension cheque but something that grows as we lay the foundation for ‘then’ in the ‘now’.
