Are you at work for the victor’s crown? James 1:12. Or wasting time sittin’ on the dock of the bay?
“This is a fight we’re in”
“This is a fight we’re in.” This is not a walk in the park. This experience of living on earth is a test. That’s how the Bible puts it. I do not plan to arrive at the pearly gates with my clothes burning and smokin’! I’m a workin’ more on myself. Got a lot to do still!

Imagine Your Evil – Unrestrained
The Holy Spirit restrains evil. For now. But the day will come when those restraints will be loosed. Can you imagine what your city will look like, when evil is unrestrained: your neighborhood, your PTA, your local road driving etiquettes, your state lawmakers, your governor’s oversight, your congressional laws passed, your presidential degrees? 2 Thessalonians […]
