Our life with Jesus should produce fruit through the Holy Spirit. This fruit is found in our actions. The question is how do we treat others? "The true measure of a person is how they treat someone who can do them absolutely no good."Mike Caulley

3 John, we see what a personal, intimate, encouraging letter looks like. And also from this letter we see this progressive process of how to grow people in their relationship with Jesus.Kal Busman

No bans on private ownership of exotic animals, such as Raleigh's notorious zebra cobra, will move through the legislature this year. The effort to dissolve the N.C. High School Athletic Association keeps moving forward. And Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger optimistically predicted an adjournment by the end of August.…

A proposal to dissolve the N.C. High School Athletic Association and replace it with a 17-member state commission is on the fast track through the Senate. Senators also advanced a measure to legalize medical marijuana in North Carolina, even after some people suggested the state wasn't charging potential pot providers enough for a state license to …

Peace and patience are fruits of the Spirit that can be intentionally chosen to be a part of our lives. Through continued practice and time spent with our Father we can be examples of faith even in the face of suffering.Kristi Caulley

What do we let influence us, what voices do we listen to that we drag into the church and use it to create division.Dr. Kristen Hill

Senate leaders are backing a bill to prohibit public school teachers from promoting critical race theory in North Carolina public schools (even though it's not taught now). A measure that would have made it easier to see footage from police body-worn and dashboard cameras has been dropped for now from a policing reform bill. And House lawmakers are…

Do you need more love and joy in your life? These are not feeling but fruits of the Spirit. Real freedom comes from loving others. Real joy is not the same as happiness, it comes from being in a relationship with our Father God.Mike Caulley

Philemon has always been a tough book for theologians over the years. Simply because of the fact it deals with slavery, and Paul never comes out and openly condemns slavery. And we admit this is a very difficult issue to deal with. However, this isn’t the only difficult practice or situation we see in scripture.…

Fruit of the Spirit is the opposite of works of the flesh. We cannot make fruit happen, it is produced by the Spirit. How do we grow this fruit? By keeping in step with the Spirit. Fruit always starts out small. We don't yell at small fruit, rather we cultivate and water it!Sean Conley

We live in a fantastic country. In spite of our many flaws and things we need to work on, this is really a great place. But we must remember Paul told us we are just ambassadors here. This is not our home, we are just guests here. And our loyalty and heart belongs to an even better place. So, we get to live here, and all that comes with that, and a…

Lawmakers wrapped up work early for an extended Fourth of July break, but not before advancing bills that would legalize marijuana use in North Carolina to treat a specific list of ailments and would raise the age children could be taken to juvenile court for offenses from 6 to 10.Capitol Broadcasting Company

Paul was the most Jewish of all of the Jewish leaders, until he encountered Jesus and His grace. Now he is advocating for grace not law. More rules aren't the answer. God's grace really is enough!Mike Caulley

Where has church been a great source of strength and encouragement over the years?Where has church been a struggle, and you’ve had to overcome some issues with the church?Kal Busman

Lawmakers want to cut the $300-a-week federal supplement to unemployment checks, and the Senate's budget proposal also would slash taxes by an extra $5.2 billion than previously thought. Meanwhile, emotional testimony marks the first-ever legislative hearing for a medical marijuana bill.Capitol Broadcasting Company

In addition to tax cuts and raises for teachers and state workers, the hundreds of pages of the Senate's proposed budget include plenty of policy changes. Meanwhile, a House lawmaker says local school districts, not state officials, should decide whether masks should be worn at school.Capitol Broadcasting Company

The Senate has rolled out its $25.7 billion spending plan for the coming year, with an emphasis on cutting taxes rather than increasing pay for teachers and state workers.Capitol Broadcasting Company

Just as the disciples navigated a lot of change during the time of Jesus' resurrection and ascension, so too the church has been experiencing a lot of change. Change even under the best of circumstances can be really difficult. Even though they didn't fully understand what was to come the disciples they still gathered together, prayed together and …

A shared life is an even higher calling of growing a culture of equitability and being ‘for’ each other. People outside of this movement of Jesus followers saw how much they enjoyed being together. And this community was so compelling and winsome that it drew others in. This wasn't just a church.Kal Busman

A plan to overhaul North Carolina's power generation landscape in the coming years immediately drew critics, including Gov. Roy Cooper. House lawmakers try yet again to get the outlawed literacy test to vote removed from the state constitution. And a measure that would allow charter buses to serve alcohol rolls on at the legislature.…

Economists for both the Cooper administration and the legislature agree that the state budget surplus continues to grow, but the governor and Republican lawmakers already disagree on what to do with the money. A bill backers say will cut greenhouse gas emissions in North Carolina by 60 percent over the next decade was rolled out by House members. A…

Over and over again we see the disciples of Jesus and wholeheartedly give themselves to worship. Over and over again we see Jesus unpack the meaning of Scripture and prophecy to empower His disciples. After the ascension just as the disciples did we must ask ourselves what now?Kristi Caulley

What does compassion mean to you?What does compassion look like in action?What hurts our ability to practice and show compassion?Kal Busman

The legislature passed a measure that would bar abortions solely because of a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. The Senate gave final approval to a massive tax cut package that will likely be written into the proposed state budget. And a key House member wants to use tax credits to attract large video-gaming conventions to North Carolina.…

Legislative leaders agree on how much to spend in the new state budget, while skipping past some of Gov. Roy Cooper's budget priorities. Lawmakers also advance bills that would make impersonating someone online a felony and would give raises to home health aides and nursing home staffers.Capitol Broadcasting Company

Jesus paid the price for all of our sins so that we could be reconciled to him, and so that we don’t need to stay in the brokenness, darkness, and pain of our own sins and the sins done to us. Jesus paid for it. It is finished. We can rest in that truth. Knowing that God redeems broken things.Amelia Schmidt

Does church still matter? Why or why not?Is church important to you? Why or why not?What do you receive from church that makes it important?Kal Busman

It's been a busy week at the General Assembly with a pileup of action on unemployment benefits, abortion, a DEQ nominee and conversations on the state budget.Capitol Broadcasting Company

What does it mean to be a disciple? Are we accidental Pharisees in our quest to purify the church? How are you representing God?Mike Caulley

Top Senate Republicans rolled out a proposal to cut individual and corporate tax rates by more than $1 billion a year, but it likely goes further than House GOP members are willing to go, let alone legislative Democrats.Capitol Broadcasting Company
