The Early Christians referred to themselves as “People of The Way” or Disciples of Christ. They were first called Christians in Antioch. This morning at my Church, the teaching pastor talked about how Christians used to refer to themselves as “People of the Way” not Christians. And that the name Christian was actually a nickname […]

Choosing between fear or faith is not just a one time decision. You get the opportunity to choose which one you’ll live by over and over again. And choosing fear is still easier. Even when you already know that faith brings much more joy and satisfaction in life. Making fear induced decisions sucks your sense […]

Everybody fails. But failing is only final, if you don’t get back up and move along. Your best life is just past splat. I used to believe that every time I failed I had to start over from zero. Turns out I was wrong. Set-backs are not do-overs, they are just set-backs. You still have […]
