The weaker brother

I get asked a lot about what my views are on Christians drinking and smoking.  I will be completely upfront; I do neither of these things and have no intentions of ever doing either.  With that being said, neither is really mentioned as a sin (now getting drunk is another story) so I have no [...]

What pleases God?

Ever asked yourself, how can I please God? Or what does God want from me? It’s a struggle I go through often, especially when I am enduring a struggle. I plea with God to tell me what He wants just so I can get past the struggle and onto a better situation. [...]
