HAVE I SINNED?
In order to honestly answer whether or not I have sinned, I must have a full understanding of what Sin is.
Here is my attempt to share with you; What is Sin?
I received an understanding of SIN, through an acronym…
WE’RE IN THE PROCESS
If you’re anything like me, then you’re probably sick and tired of hearing about THE PROCESS.
It’s in the process! It will happen eventually! Things take time! Trust the process. I’m just so over all of the process speak and waiting on the process.
My question is why does there even need to be a process? So I began to study, process, and its purpose. Here’s what I found out.
HOW DO YOU FOLLOW GOD?
I imagine, that we’ve all probably heard at one time or another, someone speaks about following God.
Some say they have been following him for years, while others might say, they have only recently begun following him.
Which begs the question; How Do You Follow God? Where is He? Where is He going?
Seekers like you and I have so many questions.
HOW CAN I TRUST GOD?
When someone says, Trust Me? We either say Alright, I will, or Why should I? For some, God falls into the “Why Should I,” category. For many of us, life can be hard at times. There is frustration, anger, anxieties, disappointments and pain to deal with. Not to mention the uncertainty of it all.
TIME IS NOT OF THE ESSENCE
What if I told you, Time doesn’t really matter? Many would think that I am crazy. That I must have lost my mind. Just hear me out, please.
When we go to God about something we usually frame it according to time, right? …
Thoughts & Prayers
Thoughts and Prayers is an expression or phrase that is frequently used when someone is ill, hurting, a loss has recently happened, natural disaster, a tragedy, or anytime that someone is believed to be heavily burdened.
THE VOICE OF GOD
Life is a series of never-ending choices. Who? What? When? Where? How? If?
It can be very overwhelming at times and extremely challenging.
How can we be sure that we are making the correct choices? We don’t know what to do, so we seek guidance.
THE RIGHT INGREDIENT
It is very important to have the right ingredient to make the thing you desire.
Ingredients are the substances you use to combine with one another when you are preparing to make a particular thing that you desire.
LIFE BALANCE
When some people speak of life balance, they refer to time management. I want to talk about the balance of your life in terms of three individual parts of you that operate interdependently. The total you! The whole you! Body, Mind, and Spirit…
A NEW DAY
Some of us start the day by hitting the snooze button on the alarm clock, jumping out of the bed at the last minute, rushing to get ready, and then running out the door.
Others of us, might wake up early in the morning with the mindset that the early bird gets the benefits of the day.
But when does a new day actually begin?
A STRONG MAN
My father’s message wasn’t the atypical one where men are taught not to cry or that they should never show emotion. Nor did he teach us to be a bully or prey on the weak. My father used a simple anecdote to teach us a very valuable life lesson…
LIVING LOOKING BACK
What do I mean by living in the past? When we constantly refer to how things used to be, that’s living in the past. Remembering the past is certainly not a sin, but constantly desiring to return to it could be…
Who Am I?
Maybe you didn’t or couldn’t express it out loud to anyone for fear of what you thought they might think or say about you. You didn’t feel comfortable sharing those deep personal feelings with anyone. You wouldn’t dare expose yourself like that. Or, you tried once and were ridiculed.
