Application of the Golden Rule: Some Real-Life Communication

The Lord Answers Prayer. He REALLY Does.

Temptation: the Devil’s Guilt Trip

So today, the first thought I have on my mind is temptation.  I was thinking a lot about this topic yesterday as I was out for a walk around town, and I ended up penning a song about it just last evening.   Lord, please give me Your words for Your children today: those who already … Continue reading →
