Your motives become your motivation. Everything isn’t this simple, but most of our motivations are either related to our dreams or our fears.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for – the evidence of things not seen. It is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen. It is a confidence of things hoped for, a conviction of matters not seen. That is three English translations of Hebrews 11:1 Faith creates a space into which what […]
Genesis 2:9,16&17 Yahweh made a fenced-in place and grew a garden in it. He put two important trees in the middle of it. One was the tree of Life, and the other was the tree of Death. He called the tree of Death the “tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.” He told Adam not to eat the fruit […]
