Weekend Projects: DIY Ideas That Make a Big Impact

Well, it’s Labor Day weekend. I’m excited to work on projects around the house that will make a big impact. While my husband is off golfing (I’m a golf widow), I’ll have a few extra days this weekend to tackle a DIY project or two.

Pastor Granillo: One Nation, Under God…

by

By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos

How important is it, really, for Christians to seek holiness? I mean, if salvation is by faith alone, then what difference does continuously seeking to be more like Christ really make?

After all, no one will ever be perfect in this life anyway, so wouldn’t seeking holiness just make us hypocrites? Why does holiness matter?
