Surface Level Faith? Isn’t it Time to Venture Deeper?

I woke up with the theme song from Jaws going through my head, which I thought was kind of peculiar and a little disconcerting until Holy Spirit clarified the why of it… When you choose to accept Jesus Christ as Lord of your life and as your personal Savior you are “choosing” to enter into […]

How Are You Living? What is the Foundation of You?

This post is for you if you have declared yourself to be a Christian.  The dictionary defines the word “Christian” like this: “A person who has received Christian baptism or is a believer in Christianity.” It also says, “relating to or professing Christianity or its teaching.” and in Google it says, “a person who believes […]

A Modern, Yet Very Old Tale…

Sometimes, the only one left holding the stones – is us, ourselves.
