If you don’t have love, you aren’t engaging the spirit that God gave you
As I finished writing yesterday’s post, I left you with the passage 2 Timothy 1:7: 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 What I did not spend a lot of time on, was the part about love –…
The flock feels the pressure
Living in North America as a Christian is becoming harder everyday. Besides the pressure applied to churches via the ridiculous lockdowns imposed by governments to combat corona virus that limited or eliminated the gathering of the saints, there is also a dwindling number of the ‘Christmas & Easter’ variety.

Of Power, of love, and of sound mind

Beware the words of people… they may seek to deceive you
I do realize that most of the time we write on this blog to help people use their words differently to bring upon a change for the better. These changes include how to show compassion, how to discern with more accuracy between good and bad, and how to write words and say words that bring…
If you have ears, choose to use them.
Mat 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. — Matthew 11:15 Are you thinking to yourself, “I have ears.” That is good. That is step one. Dive a little deeper and we see that the second part of this statement read, “Let him hear.” This is a command, because ultimately, it is…
