Forgiving Someone It’s common knowledge that forgiveness is an important element of living a Christian life. It wasn’t until I was older that I understood the importance of forgiveness. I had some misconceptions about the act of truly forgiving someone. Once I came to the Lord, I was confronted with the realization that much of my bondage had a direct […]
Prayer is a critical part of our relationship with God. Understanding the different ways in which God may respond to our prayer requests is essential.

Godly And Ungodly Soul Ties You rarely hear the term soul ties during Sunday morning church services, and the term soul tie itself isn’t found in scripture. Yet we can pinpoint many examples of soul ties in the biblical texts that will help us understand what soul ties are and how they are formed. A soul tie is like a spiritual […]
Lies We Believe Before giving my life to the Lord, I would have to admit to my own inaccurate view of God. I too, like so many others, regarded God as “The angry man in the sky”. Overtime my own corruptible thoughts coupled with the world’s perception of God had constructed the view I had of Him. Between all the […]
Recognizing The Dangers of The Occult When you hear the term occult, what comes to mind? My initial thoughts when I hear the word occult are a group of people standing in a circle, draped with black cloaks, chanting some ritualistic mantra, surrounded by candles somewhere in an underground cave dwelling. Though there are absolutely groups that do those things, […]

Death and life are in the power of the tongue I believe all of us fail to really grasp the power of spoken words. We so easily give ourselves permission to say whatever it is we’re thinking, with no concern for the person on the receiving end of it. Some of us are so self-focused, we are unable to consider […]
All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16. Understanding The Bible Better There are so many Christians walking around with little to no understanding of Gods word, why is that? How can people be expected to follow the instruction of the Bible if they […]
Facing Our Own Mortality Lets talk about the one thing that is absolutely definite in life, and that is death. What are those final moments like? That moment when you’re looking at your own mortality in the face. We all handle that thought differently. Some of us accept it out of necessity. Others avoid it all together because the permanency […]
When will Christ come to gather his people? The end times speaks about the pouring out of bowels, breaking of seals, and opening of scrolls and that can intimidate the most seasoned believer. It’s no surprise that so many Christians subscribe to the belief they will be raptured out of all of it. But is the return of Jesus before or after tribulation, and what does the bible say about it.
21 Shocking Things That May Land You A Spot On The Potential Terrorist List Remember the days when the word “terrorist” was only used to classify actual terrorist organizations or individuals?

Life is hectic and we honestly just try to do our best to get through each day in one piece. So there are days when all of my schedule goes out the window, the “Fallback Folder” is opened, and not much of any working gets done.
The comparison and symbolism of Jesus being The Good Shepherd is seen many times throughout the bible. Better understanding of the relationship between a shepherd and his sheep will allow us to appreciate the interpretation of Jesus being our Good Shepherd.
I may not know you, and you may not know me, but I’m sure by the end of this letter you will obtain a greater understanding of who I am. Perhaps you will find that though we are perfect strangers, there is some common ground which we stand upon.
It seems like a lifetime ago when I think back to the person I used to be. Whenever I talk or write about my life before coming to Christ, I feel like I’m telling someone else’s story. Because of the stark contrast in who I was to who I am in Christ is mind-blowing. Each day I notice areas in my life and in my character that are growing and aligning with whom God wants me to be.
Homeschool vs Public Schools We are heading towards the school year which will be the end of my first year of online homeschooling my daughter. I wanted to take a minute to post the reasons why we traded public school for homeschooling. As I know a lot of parents are deciding whether they want to send their children […]
The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted much of the world, including adequate care and treatment for people struggling with substance abuse. As a result, treatment programs and facilities cannot tend to their patients as they usually would. Usual protocols are being replaced with a less than comparable compromise between continued treatment and the absence of it altogether.
COVID-19, a global pandemic The entire world is being affected by COVID-19 and it is being referred to as a global pandemic.

This is a question I often ask myself, and I have realized that learning about God is an ongoing process. The first thing that needs to be established is a correct understanding of the attributes of God. Proper interpretation of God’s character will set forth the groundwork for a powerful prayer life. Likewise, it is necessary to have a correct view of God to avoid falling into the many deceptions the enemy uses to cause believers to stumble.
Satan likes people to view God as an unpleasable and judgemental angry man in the sky, who sits on a throne in the clouds. This is the flawed perception of God that many people have that keep them in spiritual bondage. Inhibiting their ability to grow in their relationship with him. Studying the attributes of God should be a priority for every believer, old and new. The attributes of God describe his divine nature, his magnificence, and character, which altogether provide us with a clearer understanding of him.
Consider all of your greatest fears, that will be the material that is used for your tailored nightmares. Scenarios of losing loved ones along with making mistakes that can’t be undone play like a movie in your mind. Your body and mind desperately want to escape the withdrawal and the strongholds of addiction are aware of this. Persuading you to give up and give in through dreams of walking into a room to discover a heaping pile of free drugs, the one thing that can stop all the suffering. Contentment is finally reached as you experience the relief of “getting right,” only to wake up to discover it was all a sick joke. These were the moments when I often quit, looking back I clearly see the demonic influence behind it.
