A New Beginning
"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path." Ps 119:105 If there's something most of us like it's a chance for a new beginning. New beginnings are a time of refreshing. We get a second chance either with ourselves, others, God, or with life itself. New beginnings can be established...

WHEN GOOD ADVICE IS FREE
"How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his...

The Struggle with Addictions
Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, you can’t control your temper, your lust, or maybe your appetite for certain foods? What is it about humans that cause us to be so easily swayed by temptation? Are we so mad all the time that we can’t control cursing someone out who swerves in front of us...

The Voice in the Dwelling Place
Those of us who study religion and philosophy know that believing in God is usually a matter of faith, but I contend that it's about something much more grand. Inside all of us is a dwelling place. This dwelling place cannot be understood through logic and rational thinking. It is different for all...

THE HIGHEST FORM OF SPIRITUALITY
So often, religion is a topic of controversy and battle. People argue about who's right and what is truth, but at the end of the day, what people will remember most about you is not your doctrine, but your behavior. The highest form of spirituality is seen and felt in how we treat others and how...

Are You a Faith Squasher?
"The fruit of the Spirit...is faith." Galations 5:22 Faith is one of the many fruits of the Spirit. Perhaps it is the most important as the Bible tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God. It doesn't say that about any of the other fruits of the Spirit like gentleness, patience and...

LOVE IS THE FULFILMENT OF THE LAW
"Whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all." James 2:10 The law of God, also known as the 10 Commandments or Moral Law, is a very exact "do's and don'ts" list. For the believer, it is the mirror one compares him or herself to. It either shows you are aligned...

Some have...
