Drop by the Homes of Hope Christmas table to pick up an empty shoebox to fill for the orphanage we work with in Ensendada. This is a GREAT project and a meaningful way for you to "express Christmas" in a meaningful way.

We are told repeatedly by Paul to put off the old person and to put on the new. How does one do that?
The answer is actually rather simple. One must intend to do it, and then one must sensibly implement the means. Putting on the new person, growing in grace, is something we must do. Appropriate action is the key. True, as Jesus said, "Without me you can do nothing." (John 15:5) But it is also true that if we do nothing it will be without him.
