What is fueling Your Feud? Sidestep the Political Spirit!

What is fueling your feud? Have you fallen under the influence of a political spirit that brings division and destroys relationships?

I wrote much of this blog in 2016, little knowing what our world would look like in 2022. A political spirit and a religious spirit are working in tandem to bring increasing division in the world at large, including the church. In C. S. Lewis’s brilliant allegory, the “Voyage of the Dawntreader”, the author speaks […]

Lord, Help Me Be Kind When I Don’t Want To!
