Too many people’s ideas about God are formed by one-sided oneliners & half-truths We have to carefully rethink our own posts about God beforehand. It should form part of our daily spiritual disciplines to pray for wisdom regarding our presence & posts on social media

I don’t know which is worse--pastors who have taken the vow of ignorance ("I know enough and read enough"), the vow of arrogance ("I'm the leader--follow me"), or the vow of significance. We are called to a life of service, not a life of significance. To serve God is to sanctify…

Susan Anthony says: “ I distrust people who know so well what God wants them to do for it always coincides with their own desires.” The Word of God nearly always goes against our own grain. It challenges our beliefs and ideas. And it does not make any excuses for doing so.

Failure and desperation is what typically gets people to consider church. But sadly many churches "outlaw" failure and desperation?

Some will force you into their moulds through guilt feelings & threats, but the Spirit will change you from glory to glory through love inside out. Grace walk!
