A judgment has been made, and you’ve been put in a box. Possibly you have built this box yourself? That box needs exploding from the inside out. It felt like they had been judged. A rulebook had been passed over them. Measurements had been taken. From the very few questions […]
We have desires, longings, thirsts, but can God meet these? What does the Bible say about desire and delight? I have a desire. Actually, I have multiple desires. Desires that I might not even be consciously aware of can be drivers of my behaviour. Often when I listen to people […]
