Intimacy With God

Contributed by Warren Curry on Dec 19, 2024

Intimacy is more than knowing about someone... it's actually knowing them and being known by them.

Have you ever considered yourself a man/woman who has intimacy with God?

Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 7, 2020

The first chapter of Ephesians is dedicated to telling the Christians there how pretty they are to God. Why would Paul spend all that ink and paper on this topic? And what can that mean to us?

On day she was in the room of one of the residents when the woman looked up at her and said “My but you’re pretty!” The attendant blushed. She was “plump” and “overweight and wasn’t ...read more
