Staying disciplined in faith can be the most difficult walk for a Christian. By pure virtue of having to believe in something that you can't see, regardless of what is going on in the circumstances you can see. Having stood in faith for over fifteen years for the same promise, I know what it is... Continue Reading →
Remaining Fruitful #Write31Days
As a Christian, it is our responsibility to be fruitful. It takes much discipline of self to abide with God so that we can produce the fruit that comes naturally through our connection with Him.

The Art of Revenge #Write31Days
Revenge is a powerful thing. It is easy to justify retaliation when we have been wronged. It is easy to share the wrong with others and have them justify retaliation.
