Do you trust you? Do you have reason not to trust you? Granted you make mistakes, but is this reason to not trust you? Absolutely not. Mistakes, unless deliberately repeated, are no basis for lack of trust. So, what would make you not trust yourself? For that matter, what causes you to trust yourself? Trust […]

For some reason there is the pervasive thinking that once you get saved you instantly become mature. Though it may not be said, behavior seems to affirm this. I don’t think so.

Be honest… the problem is that no one likes to get caught. This is especially true when you know you aren’t suppose to do something but you did it anyway and everyone knows that you know you shouldn’t.
