Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 2 Peter 3:17 While living in this wicked world, we are all susceptible to venturing down the wrong path. We try to guard ourselves the best we can, …
Living Life a Little too Fast
This thought has been an encouragement to me, and I hope it is the same for you. It has caused me to take a look at my life, my habits, and make myself re-focus on what is most important. Self-examination is an important part of our Christian walk with the Lord. “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own …
