I’ve been reading a lot about spiritual warfare lately and the thought struck me the other day that God is not the only one who believes in you. Satan believes in you as well! Stick with me here! Clearly God believes in you in that He made you knowing beforehand all the stupid things you’d…

Way back in April of 2013 I wrote a blog called When You Lose Your Trust in God. I honestly was surprised by the response to it. Usually just a handful of people are seeing my blogs, but this one got people’s attention! I’m still getting comments from it 13 years later! Unfortunately, most the…
