Lord, What Do You Want Me To Do?

Contributed by William Tan Yh on Sep 16, 2020

Apostle Paul encountered the Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus and he was changed forever. His life was to live for Christ and for the assignment which Christ had given him. For Paul said, For me to live is Christ, to die is gain.

Good morning leaders and co-laborers in the Lord, do you remember what did Paul said to Jesus on the road to Damascus at the time of his conversion? The Call of Apostle Paul on the road to Damascus.

He wants to boss you around in the RING of LIFE. From the time you are a young adult, he tries to impress his ...read more

The unnamed woman is identified as “a sinner” (Luke 7:37; Luke 7:39; Luke 7:47). This tells us nothing ...read more
