If the lesson seems familiar… it probably is. But don’t, in haste, feel like you’ve ‘done this’ so it’s not important. Truly, that’s the wrong attitude. Maybe it is a relearn – because you missed something the first time? Or…it may be a deeper level of learning, understanding, and/or application? Sometimes it’s a case of […]
When it comes to our mistakes, errors in judgment, sins…it’s how we respond that define us… in so many ways. ‘Doing the right thing’ is not always easy… it’s not necessarily ‘automatic’… but I think we always instinctually (or intuitively) know. The only question is – HOW we respond. Do we try to hide? ignore?

We are always going through… Tests. But I think most of us need to redefine what the word means and does. I believe that the purpose for tests is to help us discover what we don’t know, what we still need to understand. God is not punishing us or displeased with us, He is testing

Once you have been saved, you are in the fight of your life and it doesn’t end until you are home with the Lord. Daunting? Sounds like it. Being a Christian, in my thinking, is not an easy thing – it’s not supposed to be a bed of roses. Though there’s a slight possibility that
In my world of words and definitions, accountability fits into the same category as ‘covenant’ – little understood, rarely used. And, who’s it for? What’s it mean? What’s it ‘for’ and ‘Why”? So since I believe it is incredibly important, I’m going to share my definitions and thoughts as a counterpoint to what you may
