I spend all day out on this lake
And hell is all I catch
But today she met me at the door
Said I would have to chose
If I hit that

FROM: "LIVING WITH JESUS TODAY" by Juan Carlos Ortiz
We have a phenomenon in the church today which I call the "ETERNAL BABYHOOD OF THE BELIEVER."

WHAT THE WORD "DWELLING IN US" LOOKS LIKE
