A Path through Time
God’s path for me has carried me places I could never have imagined. I seldom found God in evangelical church activities, particularly during worship services. The first and greatest error Western Christians make is confusing emotionally moving music and preaching … Continue reading

Fool’s Goal
Nobody says having a goal in mind is somehow evil. What’s evil is the underlying mental frame of reference that makes accomplishment the measure of your worth. When you boil down Scripture to the essence, you discover God says holiness … Continue reading
