A Man In a Pit: (As told by the always humorous, truth-telling Joyce Meyer) http://youtu.be/tcCG0rxwFck After listening to (and laughing at) this story a few thoughts and questions came to mind regarding what I’ll call the “man made” pit being referenced.

Time with God
A strong, intimate relationship with anyone requires time. It is no different when it comes to our relationship with God. The more time you spend with Him, the closer you will become to Him. With that, you will find, that the things of this world that once could have easily influenced you in a negative […]
A smart Christian is able to be honest with him/herself to recognize when they are avoiding fellowship with their friends who will speak Truth into their lives.
