Mixing error with truth

By: Gabriela Yareliz People mixing truth with error is in style these days, and it has its roots from bad leadership from centuries before.

Searching

By: Gabriela Yareliz A current theme in my studies of scripture is Truth. How far are we willing to go to search for Truth and to live the Truth.

Issues of Life: Who we really are

By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning, I was listening to a message by one of my favorite philosophers, Ravi Zacharias, and he was talking about the heart of man. Man has a heart that is evil in nature, it is wicked, and betraying. In John chapter 2, Jesus had just performed a miracle, and the people wantedContinue reading “Issues of Life: Who we really are”

Random bits

“Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time.
