When I was working on my first book back in 2004 I had a lot of misgivings about writing it at all. After all, who am I? I’m no preacher or theologian. I’ve never been to Seminary. I am just a person madly in love with my Lord. When I began to look for a [...]

One of the reasons for the de-emphasis on what the text of the Bible actually says in favor of a contemplative/mystic (existential) approach is for the Devil to wipe out God’s ordained method of Church leadership. In this timely post Authentic Truth reminds us:
