Apocalyptic signs are signs of evil, not of the end of the world; they point us to a person, not to a particular time.

"The Subtle Sin Of Codependency"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Jul 31, 2008

We might assume that Eve wanted to know evil, however, was that her primary motive? It is my opinion that Eve wanted to become “God” so that she could be good, not necessarily so that she could be evil! And that is a subtle thought!

Our Church has begun a “Celebration Recovery” ...read more
