We can put walking in the Spirit of God in a Shakespearian way. To Be (spiritually alive) Or Not to be (spiritually alive) That is the question. And what better way to propose an answer to that question with the chapter from Romans that tells us about the Spirit filled life. Romans Chapter 8 ...read more
