How to be Productive According to the Bible
by Matthew Burgon-Parr March 23, 2024 Depending on your line of work, you may feel that the business world’s current obsession with ‘increased productivity’ is giving you ‘productivity anxiety’.

The Holy Spirit must dominate our body Temple
by Nanette Victoria 05/07/2014 We are not our bodies, or our emotions. Do not buy into the lie of allowing your emotional body to dominate the flesh. This is not Spirit led life, this is death. Our life is in the Spirit realm, and as we keep our focus on

Holy Rusted Metal, Bat…
Batman Forever came out in 1995 and was a hit movie, at least that summer. To me, it was the best of the Joel Schumacher Batman movies. It was definitely better than the Batman and Robin film following it. I realize that many people were worried that Chris O’Donnell’s Robin

by Dave Jacobs August 10, 2023 “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” Prov.14:34 “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:13 About a mile or so down the road from my home is a poultry farm. Often,

Memento Mori
The phrase “Memento Mori” (‘remember the dead’) means many different things to different people. One interpretation that I have heard and that I like is from 2022s movie, Burial starring Charlotte Vega and others. The main character explains that Romans would chant, “Memento mori!” at the Roman soldiers when they
