Absolute Truth

Holy. Holy. Holy.

The Stab Of Memory
Never be troubled when God brings back a painful memory from your past. Let the recollection have its way with you. It is a minister of God bringing its rebuke and sorrow to you. God will turn what might have been into a wonderful lesson of growth for the future.

Which Way?
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. James 1:5 ESV “I am seriously directionally challanged. I have virtually no sense of direction. More than once, on leaving a hotel room, I’ve had to...
