A great temptation for Christians is relating to God in a mercenary fashion. We desire to use God in order to further our own purposes.

Instead of acting as if God exists to serve us, we live our lives striving to serve God – no matter what the cost.

This Month's Featured Book
In Christ, our living redeemer, we have the greatest resource for facing life’s challenges — his resurrection! In this book, Dr. Keller invites you to consider that the resurrection not only happened as a historical fact, but that through it, Jesus invites you to experience a living hope for today and the future.
