Following other ways is aligning with something not of Him. Trust your soul to Him and His righteous ways and He will carry you…

Bible Readings: Genesis 1 Psalms 1 Proverbs 1 Exercise: Draw your understanding of how God, humans, and animals relate to each other in a flowchart. Does your understanding match the Bible?

Not Good Enough
In my walk with God and the human church, I have been heard many statements about this person not being a Christian or Christians should be this way or that way. I have been judged and seen others judged. And I have judged wrongly and had to come back and mend the pieces. Some of the people least…
