Walking with God

Greetings and felicitations of the day, Now I’m going to talk about walking with the Lord. Remember, these things, for the most part, I did not create or learn on my own. They are the principles which was taught to me by men who had also found freedom through them, and I am simply wanting [...]

Link Serendipity

Greetings, When I am not coding or writing, I am reading. Sometimes I read books (or rather, most of the time). Sometimes I read blogs. When I first entered the blogosphere, I had about five blogs that I read, and I went to each site individually each day. That list grew very rapidly as I [...]

Meekness

Meekness, is, as I’ve said before, one of the most important things to learn in your struggles with sexual sin. Pride is your worst enemy, and the only way to combat a prideful heart is to combat it with a meek and quiet spirit. Put off the old man with his prideful ways, and renew [...]

Gratitude

Gratitude How important is gratitude? A worthy question; and the answer is simple: it is crucial. Romans 1:21-22 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, II [...]
