How to Disagree Like a Christian
Below are some gracious ways I’ve learned over the last 24 years of ministry to disagree with people over hot topics that are non-essential to basic Christianity. And yes, I have not always done this right and have learned the hard way. 🙂 _______________________ – HOLIDAYS – *Christmas* Right Way: “I am sorry, I don’t…
Read MoreThoughts on Halloween
If people, especially children are capable of getting demons by witches who curse Halloween candy, can Christians get the Holy Ghost to possess (fill) children if they bless the candy given in Jesus’s name?
