Conviction Matures into Automatic Responses.
Since meeting the Lord, I have worked diligently to develop a set of disciplines to live by. These reflect my conviction to do what’s right that would honor and please the Lord. I am certainly far from perfect, but I try my best to give this the highest priority. Thinking about this, I realize

Run From It!
The Apostle Paul warns us to run from sin. In my opinion, not running away from it is a dangerous carnal miscalculation. It would be a very bad choice that leads to destruction. Sin will entice and entrap us, and

Information – Application – Transformation
I was spending time talking with one the guys in ministry I used to mentor, whose name is Brandon Girten. We were talking about a sermon he had preached, and he said something that struck a cord with me. He said that, in the sermon, he spoke about the transformation process we go through as…
