Day 40: Willing Watchmen
Isaiah 21:6. More than a best selling novel, God is looking for us. True to form, God is looking for Watchmen, and it is more about our willingness than our abilities. For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth. -Isaiah 21:6 Are you willing to … Continue reading Day 40: Willing Watchmen

Day 36: Why You Should Never Be Afraid To Speak The Truth

Have you ever been asked the question "How was your weekend?" and then found yourself trying to look for another activity you did besides attending church? I get it. … Continue reading Day 36: Why You Should Never Be Afraid To Speak The Truth
