Waging War
In his second letter to the church of Corinth, Paul tells us that we do not wage war according to the flesh even though we walk in the flesh (2 Corinthians 10:3).

Seeing as we are seen
The more I read the word of God, the more it is evident that our ways are not His ways.

Human beings are fascinated with history. We love to record it, study it and learn from it. Previous generations studied generations before them and today we are studying the generation of our forefathers.

The character of Daniel in the Bible has been a challenging one to read. There are so many facets about him that I find shake me in my faith. As much as I find him challenging, the truth is, I want to emulate him and be like him. One of those character traits is hisContinue reading “Strong Faith”
