There’s a great little book affectionately called the “Blue Book” that used to be handed out as a collateral study to this life changing class I had just taken called, “Power For Abundant Living.” The study, accurately named “The Bible Tells Me So” begins with a chapter called “Release From Your Prisons.” The idea being…
They say you know a man by his fruit. Well to take it a step further, the fruit you are able to garner for yourself in any category of your life indicates your success or failure. This is taking responsibility at the highest level. Instead of blaming God, circumstances or bad luck, you have to…
People, especially Americans perhaps, seem to have developed a penchant for using certain phrases to account for the unknown.
