    Understand that in order to stand firm, you first have to have a strong foundation.

    There is a distinction between the two foundations that Jesus tells us about in Matthew 7: 24-29, by which he used a parable describing that there is only one way to get to heaven. It’s funny to me to also note that a similar story that we are all aware of tells the same story; The Three little ...read more

    Faith is more than a mental understanding of God and his good things, it is action.

    1There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavy on mankind: 2a man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them. This is vanity; it is a grievous evil. ...read more
