    The Christian life is a walk, it's a run, but never forget... it is a fight, and the warfare is real, and we get tired, but we cannot go to sleep. A sleeping saint is a powerless saint and is no threat to the devil.

    1 Thessalonians 5:5-9 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. [7] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken ...read more

    While reminiscing can be comforting, it can also be misleading. The past wasn’t perfect — people had struggles, heartbreaks, and bad decisions just like we do now.

If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.” And if I ...read more
