• God’s Way Is Always Best

  God has defined His way for us in many areas: the family, the church, how to be saved, how to treat our enemies, etc. Yet we do so many things in violation of God’s established plans; then we wonder why life is full of trouble.

• How Many Righteous Does It Take?

  They say that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If you apply this to churches, then a congregation is only as strong as its weakest member. But sometimes God blesses the weak links for the sake of the righteous ones.

• When You’re Not Good At Praying

  I’m sure Satan must love this bit of circular logic that traps people in a cycle of not praying. I don’t, so I can’t. I can’t, so I don’t. You know what I’m going to say to all of this, don’t you?
