What You Say Is A Reflection Of The State Of Your Heart
ByTim Nolte September 18, 2019September 18, 2019
The function of your mouth is a product of the things that dwell in your heart. In order to tame your tongue, you must first examine your heart and get it right with God. #JamesChallenge James Challenge In this age of social media I’m seeing far too often where people, and especially those that claim to be Christians, spewing words they have no business putting out for all the world to see.

ByTim Nolte January 16, 2017
“What’s the secret to being a good bull rider?” When a newspaper reporter asked a Montana cowboy that question, he pushed back his hat and grinned: “You’ve just gotta want to hang on worse than the bull wants to throw you off.” I just finished day 1 of the @YouVersion Plan Men’s Devotional: For Men, By Men.

The ONLY measure of a Christian is that they believe in Christ as their savior, and put their faith in that truth.
