I read the following on a FB post by a friend: “Ponder how valuable your soul must be for satan to tirelessly pursue it and the King to lay down His life for it.” I have no idea who said this and could be attributed to, but it’s the kind of question that pulls no […]
There’s an old gospel song called ‘Do Lord’. It’s one of those rare songs that crosses all denominational borders. It’s a toe tappin’, knee thumpin’, foot stompin’ kind of good message song. It’s probably one of the first gospel songs a new believer hears. Well.,, it use to be. Most churches have become too dignified

“For we all stumble and sin in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says [never saying the wrong thing], he is a perfect man [fully developed in character, without serious flaws], able to bridle his whole body and rein in his entire nature [taming his human faults and weaknesses].”[James 3:2.

There’s a teaching that seems to be a current talking point that I’m not completely understanding. It goes something like this: the believer is forgiven for ALL his sins even before he commits them!

I was WRONG! Boy was I wrong. Not just a little ‘oops’ or a ‘but I really didn’t mean…’. This was a foundation stone in my life and it was made without the ‘right ingredients’. It’s not that I haven’t been wrong before. But I don’t recall anything that was so fundamental in my life

It’s really understandable because we aren’t always our best Christian self, we sometimes are operating from a position of anger or pain or misunderstanding. The point is to not stay there. How and why you got there
I’ve heard, as most of you have, the phrase (paraphrased) that it’s your tests that give you a testimony. Believe this? A different spin on this was one I heard from Joyce Meyer: you don’t know what you believe until it’s tested! How true. I believe that our faith, our beliefs find their confirmation when
