Clean me up

“Who can bring what is pure from the impure? No one!” Job 14:4. No human can make pure what is impure. We all have spots, stains from our past that God desires to clean up. However, we are part of the process. We must submit, “And He was saying to them...

Finding the Root Cause

Finding the Root Cause I was pulling weeds in my yard and noticed some roots come up quickly, but others, such as dandelions, just won’t let go. In the Bible we see different “roots” being the cause of something greater. For example: in I Timothy 6:10 it states, “For the...
