What is Freedom in the Kingdom Like?

“All good, all perfection, all happiness, are found in the infinitely good and perfect and blessed will of God. Since true freedom means the ability to desire and choose, always without error, without defection, what is really good, then freedom can only be found in perfect union and submission to the will of God.

The Narrow Gate…Few Be That Find It

“Well I don’t know what will happen now. We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn’t matter with me now. Because I’ve been to the mountaintop. And I don’t mind.

Protestants Vs. Catholics… Round 1

Thursday was just a typical day, until I got a call from a friend of mine named Markie. As we began to discuss the Lord and all that He has been teaching us, Markie stopped and asked me if something was burdening me. At that point, I had not even recognized that I had been carrying a burden;Continue reading “Protestants Vs. Catholics… Round 1”
