Covered Dishes
I recently was at a prayer group with Grambo and she said to pray for her generation. She said often times you get to an age that you don’t feel others are hearing or listening and that they have so much to bring to the table but feel like they are “leftovers” when it comes to the church and the new generations rising. After she had said this God said they are my “covered dishes” and it’s time to bring them to the table. I often find myself drawn to the elders for wisdom and
Cast Down the Stronghold of Cold Love
Matthew 24:12. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

They eventually decided to keep the wall up and move them to the “dining room” which if you think about it, is fitting because we are feeding them by words and food. That being said, the words have now been painted over and we went about our live
What Is Love?
In the world today you see hate on the news, social media, and walking into a store. I began really searching for the true meaning of love because in the world today love has turned into what the Bible says love is not, jealous, boastful, proud, irritable, demanding its own way, and delighting in injustice. You see this false sense of love on the news and social media. In 1 Corinthians 13, Love is patient, kind, rejoices when truth wins out, never gives up, never loses faith,
