All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 2 Timothy 3:16 New Life Version (NLT)
This blog is my way to share words inspired by God and trains us to be righteous.

There are times in our life where we feel like we are sinking. This reminds me of a parable Jesus told about the two houses. Don't place your hope into the things of this world or the sand. That's when you start to sink. We need to build our faith, our trust and believe in our rock, Jesus. When those storms come, we will still be standing because we built our life on the rock.

Titus 3:2 ESV To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. James 4:11 Living Bible (TLB) Don’t criticize and speak evil about each other, dear brothers. If you do, you will be fighting against God’s law of loving one another, declaring it is wrong.
