In our culture, the word submit has become a swear word. This is very unfortunate because it has been twisted out of context. When people think of submission, they envision a cave man like guy dragging his wife by the hair while she makes him breakfast. This is the most distorted and inaccurate view of submission that anyone…

One of the most honest things you can tell people is that you will sin against them. Because of our brokenness, we will fall prey to the flesh.

As we move forward, deeper into the digital revolution, opinions are often, trolling is rampant, mud-slinging is evident and comment sections sometimes look like a virtual bar fight. My fellow friends on the internets, this must not be so. Here are ten things people on the Internet…
