Playing Truth or Dare with God
When people invent their own truths and live by them, almost always they expect others to conform—chaos and conflict are guaranteed to follow.

Scripture tells us God’s standard…

Bigger than All the Stupid
Take a deep breath. Let it out—slowly. Relax. Read. Something infinite, eternal permeates the trembling world—it’s greater than everything, and forever will be. Read it slowly—read it out loud.

What the Devil Wants from Us
The Devil wants us angry, because anger blinds people to reason and deafens them to dialogue The Devil wants us to react, because reaction is anger-driven and anger blinds The Devil wants us to ‘justifiably’ hate, because hate is a reaction of anger, which blinds The Devil wants us to believe what we choose to…

A Prayer Where God Does All the Talking
Confused, Stressed, Angry, Helpless, Hopeless. That’s everyone since Eden’s Fall. Humanity ruined God’s perfect creation—but the Maker still speaks amidst the ruins. Let’s pray—and let Him do the talking… Come and see the works of the Lord, the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he…
