Jephtha’s needless dilemma: why it pays to know God’s word
There are plenty of stories in the Bible that cause me to question the lack of foresight of some of the people mentioned and in my opinion Jephthah fulfilling a hastily made vow that negatively affects his daughter ranks in the top five. In case you’re not familiar with the story, here’s what happened in [...]

God, what do u want me 2 do already!?
This is a question I have often asked the Lord when I come to a crossroads in my life. Decisions, decisions, so many decisions to make. How do I know if it’s the right one? What will happen to me if I make the wrong one? How long should it take for me to decide? [...]
