  Anger and all sin are most often our enemy. I do believe there is a righteous anger, but it’s rare. Righteous anger is anger for the damage sin causes, or an anger for someone using love to hurt people....using Jesus to manipulate people. That’s why Jesus threw the tables. Most of the time though, anger is our enemy and not our friend. Rebellion and riots are a trap. Before we get stuck on anger, we must follow one truth to the next truth to the next truth. Truth leads to more truth. …

Justice as I understand it, is a payment equal to the damage done in an effort to restore the damaged. If someone hurts us, they can’t fix us and we can’t fix ourselves. Justice does not restore us. Loving over time is the only thing that can restore us. Demanding justice keeps us from loving over time, and only ensures we are not restored. Repentance is truly best for others...real repentance....real change. Matthew 18:23-35 “Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decide …

It’s the one thing that determines everything. It’s not my ideas. It’s truth -and all I’m trying to do is shed light on truths worth digging for.

Not everyone we call a boss is a boss. Some are leaders. A boss sees authority as power. A leader sees authority as a responsibility to listen and serve people. A boss protects themselves and a leader protects their people. A successful mission is the fruit of a loving team not the result of one driving others. Even if wealth or success comes for a boss it comes with regret. Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord, brings wealth, and He adds no sorrow with it. …

The hardest part of living a loving life can be the times we don’t know what’s right. When we have no idea what to do next, we should pray and wait. Jesus is love. The Holy Spirit is our guide and God’s Word is our compass. We must read His Word so we know what is best and right, but even then sometimes choosing right can be difficult. Making a wrong decision is not the end of our journey, and it doesn’t ensure our failure. We all make fearful and faithless decisions, and we all chose wrong some …

If you want the power of God in your life, then fight to live a loving life. Below are a few scriptures that lead to everything I say on Instagram. We must know what love really is! It’s not a feeling. The closest you will ever be to Jesus is when you love Him and others. John 13:34-35 ”A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 “If I speak in t …

If someone loves you they will protect you. They are not perfect in love, but they will want to be. They won’t defend their selfishness. They will fight to protect you at all cost. They would prefer to pay the price then to see you pay the price for sin. If they hurt you, they will not make excuses. They will regret it and be quick to repent. If we love someone we will protect them, and if someone loves us they will protect us. If we love, we are more concerned with protecting then we are being …

It’s not loving to knowingly allow people with no intention of changing to keep running over you. That’s selfishness. Love does trust and seeks truth, and if people are truly repentant after failing, then love trusts again and again. We all fail - often even when love rules our life. We have a responsibility to seek the truth and pray and decide if someone is really in the fight to live a loving life. If they are, we should trust God, pray for them, and give them a second chance. Trusting someon …

Bullying as we all know is an attempt to manipulate other people. It’s an effort by people to get what the bully wants without regard for other people. A bully is someone who either willingly rejects the truth or doesn’t know the truth. They are unwilling to change and won’t listen to truth that suggest they should. Either way, they don’t feel safe standing for the truth fearing it will cost them too much. So they attempt to manipulate and control others by overwhelming power, shame, or the thre …
