Freedom in Surrendering Accurate Accusations – Lite (15 -17 min)

Do people judge each other because of unforgiveness, ignorance, lovelessness, or entitlement? Are there several causes? Hmmm. I admit I have difficulty wanting to sit in a church where the preaching includes the world’s encroaching philosophies (undetected or at least embraced by its leadership). The intention of this blog is to help those who (1)Continue reading “Freedom in Surrendering Accurate Accusations – Lite (15 -17 min)”

Freedom in Surrendering Accurate Accusations

Do people judge each other because of unforgiveness, ignorance, lovelessness, or entitlement? Are there several causes? Hmmm. I recently was challenged with dealing with heresy while submitting myself to the Holy Spirit’s training. It was a heart struggle in my nature! I admit I have difficulty wanting to sit in a church where the preachingContinue reading “Freedom in Surrendering Accurate Accusations”

Dress Code in Effect – Lite (22 min)

Why do we feel that everything is negotiable? When invited to a wedding, is the invited permitted to determine the date, time, venue, and nuptial garments?

Others do not strike it from the realm of possible, but have no desire toContinue reading “His Way Is Truth and Humbles Me – Lite (29 min)”

His Way Is Truth and Humbles Me

Many people have heard the statement, “God doesn’t want religion, He wants a relationship”. I suspect that poses the question of how to have a relationship with a “Being” that exists outside the dimensions of time while we are physically limited to our geography and physical laws. Some doubt it is feasible to have companionship withContinue reading “His Way Is Truth and Humbles Me”

One War: The Armour – Lite (20 min)

What are the Weapons of the Believer’s Warfare? God has given every believer tools for the battles they face, and the believer has a “duty” to suit up. Suiting up means that the armour is personally yours and fits you today. Remember, God will not place you in a battle you cannot win (1st Corinthians 10:13).Continue reading “One War: The Armour – Lite (20 min)”

One War: Two Kingdoms, Two Women – Lite (15 min)

Spiritual warfare comes to every believer regardless of how we react; it is unavoidable. With believers dedicating so much effort to walking in love and living quiet, peaceable lives, some might wonder why battles find them. It seems to me that as long as we are living in this body, battles will come looking for usContinue reading “One War: Two Kingdoms, Two Women – Lite (15 min)”
