Love

Love can be such a challenge. Don't get me wrong, it is easy to love those you agree with and those who you cherish time with. The real challenge is when you realize you need to love regardless of whose opinion defers from yours or those who only want to bring division to any room

Are Worthless Things Worth Our Time?

This verse was so fun to break apart. Wait until you hear what the word "worthless" means in this verse. ........ Whenever I heard this verse preached it was always coupled with porn.

Separated from God to Save the World
