Grown in Faith

My husband and I were recently watching a shipwreck documentary. A very sad one at that.

Remember when we were kids and we’d get those awful growing pains? Maybe you didn’t have them, you’re lucky if you didn’t. How about that stage of growing up when you weren’t quite a kid and were far from a grown up. Those years are tough. Trying to navigate being older, with yet still so…

The world will tell us many things. Things that contradict the Bible. We can choose to listen to what the world believes, or to follow truth and His word. We do not have to believe what the world teaches. If we know it goes against God, its that simple; it isn’t right. Those times are…
