What are you building with?
I Corinthians 3: 10-15 “God was kind and let me become an expert builder. I laid a foundation on which others have built. But we must each be careful how we build, because Christ is the only foundation. Whatever we build on that foundation will be tested by fire on the day of judgment. Then…

Sexism and misogyny will not be conquered by women. The men who possess those beliefs must change.Religious intolerance and persecution will not be overcome by true believers. The intolerant persecutors must become tolerant of other’s beliefs.Systematic discrimination and racism will not be defeated by people of color. The person who holds racism in their heart…

Some folks take pride in leviathan.
In order to be free from leviathan, you must renounce it, ask for forgiveness and repent or turn away from the behavior. But that’s the catch 22. You have to admit you’re wrong in the face of a stronghold of the mind that tells you you’re never wrong!

New Math Makes No Spiritual Sense
I have a concern. I truly believe the modern “church” has become consumed with wanting a “better, Godlier version” of worldly things. You know, a large house, but one that God gave me not drug dealing. Prettier clothes, you know not revealing but designer, never-the-less. It’s a lottery/casino/slot machine mentality which is pervasive. Pull on…

Who You Gonna Believe??
From the very beginning, the enemies of your life have conspired to destroy your self esteem. I’m not talking about some far away shadowy “they”. I’m speaking about people with whom you come in daily contact – The parent who said you disappoint them. Your teacher that said you will never amount to anything. A…
