Be Filled With The Spirit & Make Pleasant “Music”

I once heard a song about making melody in our heart to the Lord, and it’s important we understand what that means. Unfortunately, while the song had a merry tune it did not actually explain what making melody in the heart meant. Today we are going to look at exactly how we make melody in…

Anyone need to turn away from social media “discussions”? I follow a number of godly men and women. Recently it’s been a mess because of one topic and how divided people are on it. There’s a time to fight your battles and there’s a time to back away. While I firmly believe some people are…

Belt of Truth & Christ

Put on the armor of God and begin with the belt of truth. A couple of months ago I covered the armor of God and its connection to Jesus. We looked at the Old Testament, references to the Messiah, and other portions of scripture referencing the various pieces of the armor. As promised, I wanted…
