Kindness, Clarity, and Encouragement – #53
If I were to change this language at all, I’d say: My life STARTED changing because I am starting to REALIZE and RESPOND TO THE FACT THAT:

Who ARE you?
Many people run to the altar to GET saved over and over; but they never get into the process of BEING saved which starts with LEARNING who God is so that you can KNOW who you are. Before you can truly walk in a holy life, you GOTTA know who you are in Christ because […]

Kindness, Clarity, and Encouragement – #47
“Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are.

I write this one as I sit stewing in a pot of disappointment and unmet expectation. I talk a good game and with the help of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I walk a decent one despite this henh flesh but sometimes…sometimes the “real slim shady” stands up and clowns. The flesh wrestles me […]
