Ephesians 3:17-19
YAH builds us to be weight bearing. Being responsible and taking ownership for your decisions and their impact is weighty. Realizing that your presence in the world comes with a responsibility to work toward creating an environment around you equal to or better than what you desire for yourself. Christians bear the weight of the... Continue Reading →
The plan of the enemy is to seduce us away from the safety of the narrow path of life to gain an advantage to kill, steal, and destroy. He can only succeed if he is able to entice us. He can only entice us if we are carnally minded, which is to say if we resort to... Continue Reading →
One of the biggest struggles people have is trying to change their behavior without a true change in values. The most common form of change in society is conformity.

At the center of biblical Holy days is the commemoration of acts of love from GOD, to the end that from generations to generations, people might remember His faithfulness and adoration for His chosen love, which are the descendants of the one who counted Him good, trustworthy, and faithful. I am speaking of the seed... Continue Reading →
