Can you work off Sin?
Religion is a practice of something, the Bible calls this works. Works cannot take care of sin. (Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”) We go to Church and do good things because…

Your Own Advice

A Teachable Spirit
Humility I find myself with people who no matter what you say they are going to do it their way. It reminds me of the Kings in the Bible. They did that, which was right in their own eyes. No matter what the prophets said to them they were going to do it their own…

Are we Blind?
Matthew 20:30-34 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David. And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord,…
