There are 5 roots that run down deep into our hearts, the seat of who we are as God created us to be. These are to be nurtured, fed, and released in our lives, otherwise our hearts will die.

With that, not too long ago, I picked up John Mark Comer’s recent book Live No Lies. He also has a podcast connected to the book as well.
The focus of the book is how to properly recognize and resist the three enemies of the soul – the world, the flesh, and the devil. I know, I know. Sounds fundamentalist, doesn’t it. Preaching against those wicked enemies.
