Feasting at the Tree of Life 01 The Other Tree in the Garden

Serving in the Church is Awesome 04 Serving Brings Freedom
Psalm 116.16 says: O Lord, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains. It wasn’t until David started serving God that He found true freedom.

Serving in the Church is Awesome 03 It Makes You Different!

How to Handle Accusations 08: The Desperation Stage
Another principle I have found over the years dealing with accusers is that if their accusations do not work, because they simply don’t hold water, is that accusers can dish it out but not take it. They can say anything they like to disgrace you, they will lie to disgrace you, they will tell aContinue reading “How to Handle Accusations 08: The Desperation Stage”
How to Handle Accusations 07: The Word is Always Missing!
I have found over the years that when someone wants to accuse you, the Word is always missing. Now obviously, when someone in the world wants to accuse you they probably don’t have any Word or care about the Word, But if you watch carefully accusers who are even Christians (yes, sometimes Christians are yourContinue reading “How to Handle Accusations 07: The Word is Always Missing!”
