The Secret to Being Fulfilled in Covenant
This morning as I was reading in Deuteronomy I was struck by how even though the Israelites were in covenant, they chose not to meet with God but instead asked Moses to be their intercessor. I see the same thing happening in marriages and in American Christianity. Let's discuss.

How we Fight Anti-Jesus Religions here in the USA
This will be con-tro-ver-si-al! But I can't deny how God has taught me to fight in these areas. Not with Satan's tools of fear, hate and anger, but God's way. So let's discuss God's way.

I don't mean to imply that this is how everyone everywhere should or should not fight. This simply applies to my walk here in the USA.
