Love Alone Is Credible
This was highly recommended to me. And I am sure it is sublime, but I am not as well read or learned as I sometimes present myself. I am not super familiar with the church fathers which I am working on to fix.

Stop Listening to the World
The highway of the upright turns aside from evil; he who guards his way preserves his life. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. ~Proverbs 16:17-18 Dude, I can't tell you how many times I've told myself that a little of this and a little of that are ok. I can't tell you how many times I've heard other people tell other…
