My Obsession: Part I

I have long been obsessed with hearing the voice of God. Or, at least, hearing someone tell me what the voice of God said to them, preferably about me. Through all of the ups and downs of my Christian life I have always

Conflicted’s Response to my “Mustard Seed” Ramblings (FTOF)

Demons And Mustard Seeds

by Conflicted Pastor

The verse about the mustard seed has always been a troubling one. As far as I know, a mountain has never been moved by speaking to it. Not even by Jesus. That’s not to say
