but… do you know what is written? If you don’t, then how do you know who you are and how you go about being you? If you don’t know what’s written, how can it become a defense for you? Knowing what is written is critically important. I sometimes wonder at how Christians can be Christians if […]
Ever feel this way? I certainly do. And sometimes, typically unspoken, I add an ‘I don’t care’. Problem is … most of the time, I really do care! The reason for the unspoken is that this is said in frustration and is not something I really think, believe, or want. Emotion is dictating at this
So… what do You settle for? OK? The very best? Less than what you need? What you see that’s available? Demand more? I could go on with the questions, but the point is – do you settle? Does it depend on the focus? What is your basis, your standard when you do settle? How does

You are responsible! End of sentence. You are also responsible to apply what you know. BUT you are also only responsible in terms of what you know… you can only walk in the light you have. The caveat in this is that you will always, as in always be involved in learning. We never make
