I don’t know about you, but it truly saddens me where we are right now in our country. So many people turning on one another without a thought as to the ugly words they are saying. You have to wonder: do they look in the mirror? As Christians we need to examine our hearts daily … More REFLECTIONS OF TRUTH
I have to wonder why so many people push GOD away……is it because they are unaware of their sin, know GOD is there and choose to go their own way? I came across this scripture yesterday and it made me ponder where I am in my own obedience to the LORD and I hope it … More OBEDIENCE TOO COSTLY?
