It’s what selfish people do. And, for some, it’s almost like they wouldn’t tell the truth even if it sounded better. Yeah, selfish people lie. They have to lie to make themselves look and feel better than everybody around them. And they spread lies about other people to try and make those other people look bad to their friends. Then they get so used … The rest of the story…
Cow secretions and bee vomit. Yum, yum. I don’t know about you, but I’ll be goin’ back for seconds. Oh yeah! But first, here’s my desire as I share a little something with you today: Let my teaching drop as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, As raindrops on the tender herb, And as showers on the grass. I can’t (and don’t) … The rest of the story…
Were is past tense. It’s a seemingly innocent, little verb. But it can contain implications SO intense that eternity is required in order to even begin to understand how intense. As an example, I’m gonna share some words written by a guy named Ezekiel. He’s a famous Biblical prophet. In fact, he’s considered one of the major prophets.

Everybody has selfish desires Yeah, it’s a fact. An unflattering fact. But a fact nevertheless. You have selfish desires. And I do, too. But they don’t have to rule over you. Trouble is…most people in the world allow that to happen. In fact, they prefer it that way. So, what’s a “good person” to do? First, acknowledge that you’re not a “good person”.

But I think they only matter for one reason… Awards shows matter only as they expose the rebellious, willful ignorance of so … The rest of the story…
The sacred heart of fools ain’t sacred People in another part of the world (I’m in America) have their sacred cow. And that’s become sort of a metaphor for whatever somebody holds dear. But I don’t wanna use that. Because I’m talking about the sorry state of human beings and the way they talk to and treat each other these days. Individual desires trump … The rest of the story…
Perks that works and this island is my land That’s an improper use of the word, “works”, just so I could make it rhyme better. So, sue me. And this episode of the The Power of God’s Love Podcast is a bit of a double rant. These are two subjects I shared in previous blog posts. And the subjects have both come up again … The rest of the story…
If you’re living life alone after 50, read this. In America, for the past few decades, many people have chosen careers and thrills over marriage. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with staying single. Let me say that right up front. As long as you’re living a life full of honorable pursuits, serving your fellow man, and keeping your focus off sexual urges, you can live a … The rest of the story…
Which is more important? Your interests…or the interests of others? Notice how I didn’t say the interests of others are all the matter? I’m not suggesting you forget all your own interests, your own needs, wants, and desires. Far from it. You must look out for those. But when you put your own interests above those of others, you risk being conceited or a … The rest of the story…
