I hear so much about how everyone is glad to have 2020 over and how they’re done with the year. Yes, this year has been long, but I still can’t believe it’s over. I feel like we lived in a murky vacuum of time and as much as I know…
Religion
Ah, good ‘ol Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. I was reading about them in Daniel 3:16-18 this week as they were getting ready to be thrown into the furnace if they did not bow down to the gold statue Nebuchadnezzar had built of himself. “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to…
I don’t typically post directly about the denomination I’m affiliated with because I enjoy focusing on a relationship with Jesus and not a man-made religion. This week was a bit different, though, because it was the week of the General Assembly of the Nazarene Church where the theology of what…
