Zechariah 8:16 These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another; What is truth? Well, bottom line, Absolute truth is and comes from God and we have those truths in His word. And God says, John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. John 8:32 “If you continue in my word, you really are my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” So, we see that absolute Truth is from God and we are instructed to share that truth. But, how do I. The Truth hurts at times. And anyway, aren’t I supposed to love everybody all the time. Afterall, wasn’t Jesus all love. Absolutely, Jesus was and is all about grace, mercy, forgiveness, and love. However, that i

Here's the deal. You may not like me and that is okay. However, you had better love me. I will speak the Truth. I'll be blunt and to the point. Guess what, Christ was!

I will ALWAYS share the Truth, with BOLDNESS, with Bluntness, and yes I'm very OPINIONATED, but hopefully you'll see my love and heart through all I say and/or what I do. Guess what, if I were just passive with you and keep silent -then I don't really care. Guess what, I DO CARE and I don't want to hear about anyone going to hell because they weren't running the race (1 Corinthians 9). We are talking abou

Understanding where your money comes from is the beginning to living a generous life, even when you don’t have a lot of money to be generous with. I should know. While this is quite hard to admit, I am barely making enough money to sustain my own family right now. I had been working at a company for 10 years before it closed down last year – a circumstance many face today. I’m working again, but unfortunately, my new income does not come close to what it was before. Now, I am working hard to move my finances beyond a “paycheck-to-paycheck” lifestyle. During all of this, though, there has been one constant area of my family's life that my wife and I were certain needed to remain, no matter what’s in the bank account. It’s something that comes before you even begin to think about your own living expenses. It’s called generosity, and none of us would be here without it. Generosity, at its core, doesn’t have anything to do with money, even though we are talking about our abilit
