A hollow victory

Again, Lord willing, if I can manage my life well I … Continue reading
You don’t have to…
Galatians 5:13 (NKJV) For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything … Continue reading
Repairing or Preparing?
Colossians 4:5 (NKJV) Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Never forget that you have two ways to spend your time: repairing or preparing. I encourage you to choose preparing; for repairing has to do with a broken past and preparing has to do with a better future. Basically you have three ways to respond to … Continue reading
