What You Believe Determines How You Live!
It should go without saying that What you believe determines how you live.

One of My Favorite Stories

Our Speech
One of the realities of life is that we can often tell much about a person by listening to them speak. It doesn’t take long for us to tell if people are smart, kind, witty or a Christian, just by listening to them speak.

Hence his admonition earlier to be “swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.”...Continue reading "Our Speech"
