July 2, 1964 – the Civil Rights Act is the historical event that most fascinates me. This law prohibited segregation of blacks and whites in public places. I can only wonder how people felt (really felt inside), not how they thought they should feel, but how they really felt. This day and time in history was the beginning of bringing human beings together. Yes, it took time and still even now, there are glimmers of objection to it in some places and hearts, but for the most part it has ended. Thank God for this.

How to Overcome Sin: Are you sin conscience or Spirit conscience? Your answer determines whether you are able to overcome sin. The word conscience is defined as an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one’s behavior.
If we are sin conscience, we cannot walk in step with the Spirit and if Spirit conscience, we cannot be led by the flesh. What we think upon determines where our focus lies. Just as you cannot look at two different things at once, at least not fully focused, you also cannot dwell on sin…
