“Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a ...read more

Detours come during Development, Disasters, Accidents, Protocol, Apprehension (Sifting, Dragnet), etc. God rarely takes us to our destiny in straight lines - He normally has some development that requires detours. Abraham's detour was 25 years, Jacob's was about 20 years, etc. And yours?
