The Lord suggested that having eyes and not seeing was not a good thing, however SEEING is not as simple as you might think and has very little to do with my eyes and much more to do with my heart. It stands to reason that the closer my perception of reality is to the […]

God commands me to examine myself, to let ALL scripture reprove me, to ask God to search my heart, to let the iron of his word and faithful friends’ reproof sharpen my iron. Do I really want to be a sharp sword in his hands? Then I must have frequent sharpening. All scripture will first […]
