Ever felt something so strongly that you felt like it had to be true? But when you checked it out against God’s Word, you realized that – although you felt it deeply – it just wasn’t God’s best for your life?  It can be confusing, and frustrating and even cause us to feel anxious anger…

Mental flip-flopping creates spiritual instability. Thoughts and feelings come and go like the changing of the weather. However, if you allow yourself to be tossed – to and fro – by these, it creates an atmosphere of double-mindedness, which leads to instability. As a gardener, I am reminded of how true this is. Once you plant…
