The Whole Need Not a Physician
This life can be so damaging, and even the most desirable life can leave us scarred and wounded. We live in a fallen world of faulty human beings, and no one is guiltless. We have all hurt someone.

Considering Proverbs 10:2
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. As Christians, we know that the only righteousness that will deliver us from death is the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Our own righteousness is not enough and never will be.

The Problem with Kings–We are the Four Horsemen
This was originally posted on October 4, 2019 on my first website, http://www.kindlingtruth.com I abandoned that project for a few reasons, and I’ve been thinking about that decision lately.
