Where Would I Be Without Jesus? Church Hurt. Part 11.
•

Where Would I Be Without Jesus? Rebellion and Stubbornness. Part 9.

A Desperate Cry for Help I hit many rock bottoms throughout my life. But I will focus on one instance here where God showed up. Being plagued with depression, thoughts of suicide, and never-ending insomnia, I sank to a new low in the spring of 2012. At my end, and…

Where Would I Be Without Jesus? Adultery. Part 2.

Spiritually speaking, whatever we obey is our master. Romans 6:16 says, “Do you not know to whom you are offering yourselves as servants under obedience? You are the servants of whomever you obey: whether of sin, unto death, or of obedience, unto righteousness.” It’s our choice. It was like that…
