Yes? No? The start of our ‘Stand’ (Ephesians 6) in the battle, because if we don’t believe in Absolutes, then we are on the wrong side. I remember, at university, that the group of people I tended to ‘hang out’ with were those who, though perhaps far from intellectuals, loved to ‘discuss’. One time the discussion […]
Do you ever feel like screaming out loud – “I have no time!!!” What you are referencing really means is that there is no time for yourself or the activities that are important, bring meaning and purpose to your life – now. So what do you do? Bite the bullet and simply soldier on? Whine? After
Ever think about your soul? Ever wonder why scripture talks about your soul as often as it does? Or do you couple spirit and soul together into one? They aren’t the same, you know. When you read ‘spirit’ in scripture – it isn’t talking about your soul… and vice versa. So what is ‘soul’? Your
