    what is the worst thing you ever had to deal with?

    Gods will vs mans free will

    You just made my point, not all decisions are moral spiritual, but everyday life decisions nonetheless. How about where to go to college? How about what career to take? Where do we draw the line? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could discern God's will perfectly? The reality is that it ISNT...

    Hebrews 12 KJV

    This is a tough passage, I had a look up the word scourgeth, which means severe punishment, whipping or lashing! God gave me a beat down because I was deep into pornography for 20 years., lost all of my money and my job and humbled me, but regained my focus. In the Lord. I’m reading this...
