Okay, so Truth + Fire has only been around since 2015, and our top ten articles of the decade actually come from the past three and a half years. Yet, as I reflect on the past 10 years of my life, much is revealed about my testimony in these stats, and in the articles resulting from them. As I’ve previously shared, when I began Truth + Fire, I simply wanted to share my faith. But that faith was not only immature, it was filtered through the ‘prosperity gospel’. Granted, in the months before publishing my first post I’d begun an independent Bible study and was surely learning a few things. But, the truth is, I sincerely don’t believe I was converted at the time I launched this blog. I’ve actually had to go back and DELETE a couple of posts from Truth + Fire’s first six months of publication. For example, in September 2015, I wrote a piece about Pope Francis’ visit to the U.S. where I fawned over his humility and ability to unite people no matter their beliefs! Meanwhile, this man not only brings a false gospel, but he has a whole antichrist spirit! BAH!
Stepping into the New Year Like..."I WILL Have Trouble?"
As I’ve scrolled through my social media feeds these past few days, I haven’t been surprised to see one celebrity pastor after the next declaring nothing but great things for you (whoever you are) in the New Year. They do this madness every year. But, honestly, this year their shenanigans actually caught my earnest attention, namely because I know first-hand how what they “declare and decree” each year is so off base from what the Lord has already promised His children.
