    Perhaps some are assuming the reason I am preaching on this subject is because some members in the church are mis-using their tongue in the church.

    One of the typical characteristics of our children—maybe yours too—was that they enjoyed playing their music loud. Not just loud… LOUD.

    God is always doing new things in our lives, but we often miss them because we're too focused on the past. We need to let go of our past baggage and trust God for the future.

    Remember the Israelites? They were slaves in Egypt for over 400 years. But when God set them free, they kept looking back, wishing for their old lives. Sounds crazy, right? But we do the same thing. We get stuck on the past, even if it wasn't that great. God wants us to drop that heavy backpack of ...read more
