Life

Narrow lanes

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. – Matthew 7:13-14

Wise builders

Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. — Matthew 7:24

Don't Skip Good Friday

LIVE HUMBLY

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or deceit, but in humility consider others more significant than yourselves. Let each one look not only to his own interests, but to the interests of others. – PHILIPPIANS 2:3-4

Consider that we live in a time where Instagram influencers or YouTubers (most with no technical skill, academic knowledge, or talent) have reached celebrity status and have accumulated significant wealth through their various platforms. And many of their followers aspire to be like them. And why not?
