A client was in my office this week who has visited my office over 10 times so that I could do work related to his deceased wife’s estate. It occurred to me when he left that every time he has been with me, he informed me about someone’s failure or someone’s ill-intended actions. In other words, every time he has […]
I proclaimed a fast by the Ahava River, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask Him for a safe journey for us, our children, and all our possessions.

When I was baptized through death into Christ, I was put in Him in a way that transcends time and space. I am now seated with Him in Heavenly places. I was crucified with Him.

Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. (Romans […]
