God Is Not A Slave Driver
He is our Father and Friend We often have a wrong view of who God is. We are raised to have certain views. We are taught in church to have a certain view. We can listen to demons and thoughts that blame God for what we are dealing with in life. Those thoughts that beatContinue reading “God Is Not A Slave Driver”
By Faith…
Faith matters “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”—Heb. 11:1 Translation: Faith is made up of hope for things we do not see and have never seen, but have evidence for.

The Power Of The Devil
What the Bible says. I often run into Christians who speak of the devil as though he is powerless and weak. That he is a defeated foe and not a real enemy.

Our Peace
Our Peace Comes Through Knowing Him “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”—Phil. 4:6-7 You’ve seen the slogan “Know Jesus.
