Pain is a big motivator for change but we have to decide when we’ve had enough discomfort to gain the courage to seek a solution. Hitting Bottom is a choice. We can get off the elevator at any floor we choose, or keep going down into destruction and death. The plagues in Ancient Egypt illustrate […]

Moses is taken through the Refiners’ Fire on his journey to do God’s will. He moves from obedience to disobedience and back to obedience as he searches for another way, is reminded of his calling, and encounters and near-deadly test before arriving at his destination.
