There are times He will make us all wait for His promises. And there’s nothing worse than having to live with the consequences of not waiting on God.

Continuing with the series, "How’s Your Soul?," I want to talk about family. While families have their problems a family is only as strong and good as the people in it. In order to be a good child, parent, cousin, nephew, grandchild, or uncle you have to get your soul right. When our souls aren’t right it can affect how we treat those in our families.
Read MoreFreedom is for everyone who wants it—the lost, the wounded, and those weary from striving. It’s for those who gave up trying years ago.

Read More2016 may not have been that bad for you personally! But if you care even a little about other people, you will still want an explanation for why the world is such a mess. But more importantly, if you are honest, you will admit you are not the person you want to be. We can all put on a good face.
