The way God thinks and works is many times the exact opposite of the world. The enemy wants to get us operating as far as possible from God's grace. God is our creater. He is our designer.

The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media. I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within .
