There are many things Christians say and believe that aren't necessarily Biblical. I read an article the other day and it got me thinking. I, myself, have said and thought some of the other things. The one that really got to me was the statement: We are all Children of God. It is true that … Continue reading Children of God?
Making some changes
"Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit." - John 15:2 I am always amazed at the power of prayer. This has been a tough year for me and I have spent a lot of … Continue reading Making some changes
