In Song of Solomon 2:15 we are told, “little foxes are ruining the vineyard.” It is not usually the big things that sidetrack us, but the little things can distract us and even steer us from the path of life. The days we waste can quickly add up to weeks, months, and years, and the years can add up to robbing us of our life’s purpose.

          I shared last week how I recently determined to define what a perfect day would look like for me and then...

          Loving God more and getting closer to Him should be the top priority of our lives. Anything else that becomes a top priority is an idol.

It is the difference between being on the path of life and being on the road to...

        In II Corinthians 13:5-6, we are instructed, “Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?” This is an important exhortation.
