David has a great testimony; he was a man after God’s own heart, a man who fulfilled God’s purpose in his generation. The Hebrew name David itself means “beloved.” The story of the rise of David from obscurity to become king and his incessant love for the Lord relayed throughout the Psalms makes him a...

The Duality in Man
I recently shared some ideas about the Adamic nature at work in Christians. And someone asked me: “Would you mind explaining what a carnal nature in a believer means?

Roots
God speaks in amazing ways. The saying is true, pictures speak a thousand words. Many thoughts came rushing to mind when I saw this picture.
