IAMFORGIVEN

For the love of Money

Growing up I was really into this group called Bone Thugs N Harmony. They were the pioneers of tongue twisting rap, where they would flow out super quick rhymes and make it sound really easy and smooth. It was actually pretty impressive! One year they came out with a song called “For the Love of…

Marriage and Ministry – Double or Cut in Half?

About a year ago I was talking with a friend who came from the states and had been a missionary for many years. We got to talking about relationships and he gave me some really good advice that hit me. He said “The person you choose to marry will either Double your life and ministry…

A girl name ENTITLED!

I ran into a girl named Entitled yesterday. She had a very interesting story. From a young age she had been born into a family that gave her everything that she wanted. “No” was not in her vocabulary because the parents felt that if they said “no”, it would take away her happiness. As she…

You Are Worth It!
