πŸ‘‘ Replacing Worry With Prayer

To lead a joyful and peaceful Christian life, it’s imperative that we let God preside over situations that are beyond your control. Worry and trust do not coexist. When we invite worry in the front door of our lives, our faith will inevitably depart through the back. So we … ➑

Is the drinking of wine and other alcohol sinful pleasure, or a healthful life-improving habit? We saw that Christ approved of drinking wine. His actions and words set the example by which Christians are to live their lives.

πŸ’‘πŸ‘‘ The Narrow Road Or The Broad Road?

πŸ‘‘ Living Transparently

Early for a lunch appointment, I was enjoying the quietness of my commute despite the bumper-to-bumper traffic. Suddenly, the ringing of my cell phone broke the silence. I answered it and heard my mother’s voice say, β€œI’ve been waving to you for the past 5 minutes! You must be … ➑
