    About this ebook

    I've tried to the best that lies within me to shed some light on discernment, prudence, and decision-making. We all have the ability to make choices, but some of us are better at it than others. It is with this in mind that we challenge our senses to open their gates to the learned art of election. We all have minds, but not all are mindful of how we use it. Our choices play a significant role in our life for harmony, happiness, and hierarchy of lifestyle. All thoughts are not created equal. It is up to us as individuals to prompt our minds to a new level of awareness. We don't scrape off the surface but tunnel beneath for more profound wisdom. When a different result is required, don't use the same formula, for it produces the same outcome. Hopefully, there will be insight gleaned from these pages that will cause all to give more thought to outcome of decisions. Decision-making can be compared to home-building. If the architect leaves out an important step, it's almost impossible to insert. So it is with finalized decisions in place, it's hard to insert or rectify what was omitted without starting over. It is said the conscience is a moral compass for guidance, why not appreciate it by adding tips, tools, and ideas to allow it to work better? This will happen when we learn to access information, assemble facts, and evaluate experiences in life for our good.

      Apr 22, 2022

      In the church today, there are many sins that are seen as ‘socially acceptable’. Are we changing the Bible to fit our culture, or are we changing our culture to fit the Bible? While the sin of worry, for example, may not seem as severe as murder, it

      What Does The Bible Say About Fate / Destiny?

      Jan 1, 2021

      This is a very complex issue, and we will start with what the Bible does not teach. Fate is usually thought of as a predetermined course of events beyond human control. A typical response to a belief in fate is resignation—if we can’t change destiny,
