Trust, and the Truth Will Reveal Itself
As I see it, there are two kinds of truth. There is truth with a capital “T” meaning higher or divine truth. Then there is truth as in the opposite of a lie. The statement in my title is about truth with a small “t” or the opposite of a lie. Lying, deception, setting upContinue reading “Trust, and the Truth Will Reveal Itself”
The Shoe is on the Other Foot
It will happen. “The shoe will eventually end up on the other foot.” The statement, “The shoe is on the other foot,” means someone who had the disadvantage in a situation now has the advantage in some area. I don’t know why, but having a shoe on the other foot always makes me think IContinue reading “The Shoe is on the Other Foot”
Weekly Wisdom: “What You Resist Persists”
Keep this in mind as your week unfolds. That which you resist will become bigger and will continue. I know, I know! It does not seem fair. Yet, it is truth.

Learn a lesson from this teaching about staying in integrity to that love.Continue reading “Loving Yourself While Loving God”
Scapegoat Mentality
Back in Biblical times there was a sacrificial animal called the “scapegoat”. When the Levite priests did ceremony to cleanse the people of sins, the sins were symbolically placed into the animal and then it was sent out into the wilderness. It ran off carrying the sins of the people with it. In modern days,Continue reading “Scapegoat Mentality”

Have you ever heard the expression, “rules without relationship bring rebellion”? A person can try to enforce all the rules upon someone else but if there is no relationship all the rules in the world can not make someone love or obey.
