To prove…

The Situation of Sin
[1/2 series] Sin is born a time after its conception. To win over sin, we have to stop waiting to kill off sin in it’s fully developed state and start nipping it in the bud of its creation. “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil…

The You of Today; The You of Tomorrow
Impatience and feelings of inadequacy are a terrible mixture for success. “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.

Not this Lord

Don’t Send Jesus to Voicemail
Leave a message at the beep *beep* The Bible tells us that God speaks once, twice, yet man doesn’t perceive it. [Job 33:14] Could it be that in late July of 2018 God is speaking yet we, the people of God, “perceive it not”? We know God doesn’t change.[Hebrews 13:8] We know God still speaks…

When the Path is Dark
Life can be dark, so how do we see? My grandmas property that her house sits on has several acres most of which is covered by trees, brush, and overgrown grasses. Prior to my grandfathers passing, to conveniently get around the place paved paths through all of the brush. Just some old dirt trails, some…
