“The Tree that Bears Fruit Out of Season.” On the tenth month of the year 2018, on the eighteenth day, I had a dream. I had spent many years toiling, trying various activities to meet my needs. I was embittered by the defiant behavior of my first community of believers. After this desert time, where […]
“Elijah then said to all the people, ‘Come near to me.’ So all the people came near to him. And Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord that had been thrown down. He took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord […]
Features of an Ingrate and How It’s Poison to Destiny An Ingrate tends to forget the benefits received because they want to move on to something else.
