  • The swindler close to home

    As I remember the movie Tinder Swindler, it’s pretty challenging to let it sink in how the girls fall into the smooth talk of their lover who blatantly asks for money at the moment of his fabricated demise.

  • Imprisoned by lies

    Sometimes, no matter how far you search for truth from a person who decided to steer clear of it, you won’t get anywhere.

  • Can you remember the widely known saying, “Love your enemies?”

    Jesus even expanded it further in Luke 6:27-30 (MSG): To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the supple moves of prayer for that person. If someone slaps you Read more
