Accountabliity to God

Perhaps this isn’t any revelation to you my readers but I share anyway. ;). As noted in my recent entries I have found myself in a season of struggle with old sinful patterns of behavior. In the good moments of this season I have been trying to figure out the why. In that the HolyContinue reading “Accountabliity to God”

Unexpected Lesson

While I have a few other blog posts drafted to continue with some thoughts on Romans 1, I interrupt to share an interesting lesson that came my way today. Shortly after waking up I received a text from a good brother asking me if was going to attend church today. Reluctantly, I replied. Maybe. SharingContinue reading “Unexpected Lesson”

Truth be told it made me a little sad that I haveContinue reading “Physical Connection!?”

Truth: You are not Alone

If you are anything like me when you find yourself struggling, embattled by sin or temptation you feel alone. Your heart and soul feel empty. Will anyone understand?
