Respect

God, who is worthy of our respect, desires that we respect one another. People are worthy of respect, because they are made in His image.

What Mothers Do

Several times in scripture, God is described using feminine terms. On this Mother’s Day, we look at some of the characteristics that women share with the God who created them.  



Hospitality

When we think of commands in scripture, we might overlook hospitality. Although it begins as a command, God intends for it to become on of the most obvious things people see in His followers. Our hospitality flows out of His love for people.
