Upon hearing this, the fleshly nature goes right into survival mode and starts searching for ways to disqualify the statement. However, someone with a great deal more knowledge, wisdom,...Hold on, correction...He... Continue Reading →
A Shemittah Lesson
I was recently counseled by the Holy Spirit on some emotions I was holding. I broke my leg a couple of months back and have been on crutches and quite honestly I have been needy. I have been needy, not only physically but emotionally as well. I had begun to feel somewhat let down by... Continue Reading →
The KISS of Salvation
We definitely have a part in our salvation. One of the main evidences of this is that all men will not be saved. The scripture is clear that God would have all men to be saved as in the Book of 1 Timothy 2:1-6. What keeps all men from being saved is the fact that... Continue Reading →

Freedom without Liberty
I have found often what the world promotes as freedom tends to bondage. For instance, most people consider freedom the ability of an individual to do whatever he or she wants. If you take a closer look at that you will find that it is very limiting. An individual can only experience or realize what... Continue Reading →
Wallowing In The Mire
Politics is a nasty business. I am somewhat surprised at the number of confessing Christians willing to wade into the mire and promote men who are compromised to their core. When was the last time you heard any politician speak in absolutes regarding their beliefs according to the faith they profess? There is a website... Continue Reading →
