Going deeper with Jesus
Remember when you were a little kid? That thought brings either a flood of good memories or a flood of bad or everything in between.

Pride is not our friend. It helps us to think lofty thoughts. Maybe it’s already in us. Maybe the thoughts are given to us by the dark side. Maybe a little of both. Satan is always lurking about like a roaring lion. He’s looking for that opening, looking for that crack in our armour. Our

Being pliable in the hands of Jesus. That sounds easy enough. Making the choice to follow Him. And, then, actually letting Him take the helm, maybe not so easy at times. Jesus has been doing this for a long time, with many people. He is very tenderhearted toward us, that does not mean He is

This is the first in what I am planning of a series on repentance and holiness. Just like every writing, it is not meant to tell all the answers. No human can possibly do that. Even if I wrote many books about holiness and repentance, there would be more to learn. There would be more
