Esther has one big BUT. If you don’t believe me read this from Esther 4:12-14, “When Esther’s words were reported to Mordecai, he sent back this answer: “Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief [...]

ONE IS ONE TOO MANY! The rate of moral failure in my denomination has not increased over the last 25 years. The percentage is actually less than 1% according to national statistics.

The obvious meaning from the context implies the negative or sinful thoughts that come to our minds. However, the text says to take every thought captive. I think that includes the good thoughts as well as [...]
