    Are we being wise?

    People need to know Jesus, but they don’t need to know every opinion we have.  IMHO, this is why social media has become such a cesspool of information; because once every thought ever had has been made visible — it’s hard to hear (or even see) what is actually valuable through all the noise.   Consider the…

    Confession is one of the most pivotal steps to growth in Christ. No matter where our lives have been, or what challenges we might currently be facing, confessing who Jesus is (the Son of God) is truly the first step of understanding for all. The man who was born blind (seen in John 9) walked…
