“Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight.” Isaiah 5:21 We live in a time when many people believe they are right simply because their own heart, opinion, experience, or reasoning tells them so. But the Word of God warns us that being right in our own eyes is dangerous. Our thoughts…
When you see a cloud rising, you know a storm may be coming. In the same way, when we look around and see hatred, lies, violence, pride, division, injustice, and confusion growing in our nation, we should not ignore it.

Many people define themselves by what they have done, who they know, what they own, how they look, or how successful they seem to be. Others may define us the same way.
