An unguarded life
Like a bleating baby lamb alone in green meadows, I have discovered myself surrounded by giant forests where wolves lurk. Been there yourself? So steps the Christian who blithely lives a life without accountability. Each of us must take care to set up properly, and live with some kind of accountability. We’re like popcorn over […]

Quite a high standard! 2 Timothy 4:2 Amplified Bible […]

“And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” – Psalm 121:8 NIV God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away in a different galaxy. Star Trek might lead one to believe that! But the […]
