Feeling “less than” is one of the devil’s best tricks. We notice what we’re not, what we can’t do, what’s uncomfortable, what’s out of our skill set.

Beyond Comics & TV ... This Is Real & Better 19:53

10h ago19:53

19:53

Who doesn’t love a good movie, TV show, or book? It’s entertaining, it keeps our attention, and it oftentimes gets us to place ourselves in a character’s position. The Bible has this same effect (if you actually read it). The book of Judges is one of those books of the Bible you may not be very familiar with, but it contains a collection of histori…

Scripture and experience teach us that people are different. Like different parts of the body, God intentionally decided to make each of us different from everyone else.
