What Compels Us To Speak?

“I am full of words and MY spirit compels me to speak…” Job 32:18 RED FLAG: When “I and MY” are fueling our thoughts, it would be wise to keep our mouthes from firing off. Our opinions often masquerade as truth in our own minds. ____________ I think we can almost all remember a time where we spoke too soon, […]

How Do We Define Meaningful?

If we don’t personally decide what is meaningful, a mean world will. What is meaningful to you? I would love feedback❤!  I was listening to the “Hamilton” soundtrack.

Looking for Mess-ups or Listening to the Message

(See Luke 14) The Messiah was right in front of them. They carefully watched so hard that they missed The Message, The Word, altogether!  How often do we still do that when we start debating issues, policies, legalism, plateforms, and “who’s right?” “Who’s right” doesn’t even matter. Righteousness and “being right” are not the same thing. Christ is righteousness! Seeking […]
