There it was. That tingle that led to my mind turning to mush, a train wreck destroying all focus. A momentary chasm of despair before the welling rage rushed to the surface. Since I was little, I’ve had this cycle and until recently couldn’t put my finger on just what this was. But now I […]
Luke 10 shows Jesus issuing a command to 72 whom he has sent out – if you haven’t read it (Luke 10:1-12) go read it quick or click here. Jesus issues a few truths which I want to tackle this morning as important reminders for though of us who have been entrusted to bring the […]
“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age.” – Titus 2:11-12 Recently my news feed has flared up with a few things – people arguing about a religious freedom law and hundreds of photos […]
