    Nov 19 2024
    You probably have heard that God did not give us the 10 Suggestions, He gave us the 10 Commandments. That is very true, but there is a critical difference to be considered on how God sees the commands versus how we see the commands.

  • Are Your Trying to Get Someone to Change?
    Nov 12 2024
    That energy is spent trying to get them to change and spent when they do not change in the time frame you want or expect. It creates stress and tension and it's all because you are trying to do something that even GOD DOES NOT DO!

    Oct 22 2024
    Louie and I have heard that many times from both men and women. Does that mean the biblical designs are wrong? Of course not. Just because I have a design does not mean that the design will be properly utilized. For example, have you ever used a common kitchen knife as a screwdriver?

Too much power becomes "My way or the highway!" Too much relating becomes "Can't we all just get along!"
