We are all a ‘betting man’, whether you know it or not
The probability that all of you have heard in some way shape or form the following statement, “If I was a betting man, I bet that….(and fill it in with the outcome),” is incredibly high. Why? It is a manner of colloquial speak that has permeated our everyday language and even that of pop culture…
How Being Thankful for God Creates Freedom In All Situations
For the people that are Christians and live in countries that are predominantly Christian ‘friendly’, it could be very easy to be thankful for God’s blessings, and as genuine as those thankful feelings might be, there is a different appreciation of those feelings and expressions of them if one lives in a setting that is…
We become new creatures, based on who our role models are. Are you wise?
