It was a dark and stormy night… Sorry, I know it’s cliche, but it actually was. The little ship had set out before the storm or nighttime hit, and now everyone aboard cowered as the storm fought brutally with the sea around them, probably wishing they had never left dry land. Well, not everyone cowered. […]

God’s Word Vs The Internet’s Word: Let’s Compare Types of Truth
This past week, I was scrolling through a social media page when I came across a question someone had posted: “Do you believe that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view?” I had to stop and think about that question. To me, the question seemed contradictory. If […]

You Can’t Change Who You Are
Think about the last time you cooked an egg. Maybe you hard-boiled it and turned it into egg salad. Or you fried it so you could dip toast and bacon into the yolk. You might have scrambled the egg, or mixed the egg into brownie batter or cookie dough. When you cooked this egg, you […]
Why Does Satan Tempt Us?
The battle between God and Satan is based around us. God does everything for us and Satan tries to use us to help himself.
How Does the Holy Spirit Help Me?
