Throughout my life I have had various sources of information and mentors that I have been drawn to and studied. Some sources had great influence on me and the decisions I made. When you look at the title of this post, “I want you to be blessed, joyful, and filled with peace!” realize that many sources and mentors with different agenda’s will try to get you to believe that they have the way, but we must be biblically wise when we choose who we are going to trust and follow.

Tomorrow at 10:00am on Facebook live I will be expanding last weeks sermon on wisdom. Last week we looked at Proverbs and tomorrow we will be looking at a New Testament Parable that can change your life.
