In this post, I have decided to include lyrics from the song Homeward by Benjamin William Hastings. God has used music in my life to carry me through many seasons. This song has helped me more than any other. It has helped me most when I could not feel God or what He was doing.…

Secluded For the longest time, I had struggled with a fear of man. Because of that fear, I would always be terrified of being alone, whether it was even a valid fear or not. My happiness was found in if people thought highly of me. This fear of man was especially present when people were…

The Christian Who Does ____ “But I am afraid that, even as the serpent beguiled Eve by his cunning, your minds may be corrupted and led away from the simplicity of pure devotion to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:3 In walking the Christian walk, it can be easy to overcomplicate things, making some things harder than…
