You do realize, don’t you, that God is not a Sugar Daddy? I sometimes think that we do… or that we harbor some kind of hope that He is. Not. Wrong designation. Many new Christians do have this misconceptions and become frustrated when this is not the case. How they come, how anyone would come, […]
I’m certain that phrase would, in today’s world, be construed as a racist comment. Not. But had you ever considered that you were judging someone without understanding, since you weren’t walking in their moccasins?
