Yielding to Attack


Thinking about the Matrix. Neo and Trinity rarely had to engage with those attacking them. They saw the attack coming and moved out of its way. How often does a criticism come my way and I am ready to fight, ready to defend, ready to hurt as I have been hurt.

stand in peace.

stand in peace..

We had been at Gateway for one year and I was sitting in the auditorium soaking up John Burke's words of experience and wisdom. He said, "if you are ready to get close to Jesus reading His word is the best way. Read either the Gospel of Mark or John." That was it. After church I opened up my Life Applic...
