Are You Useful To God? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 24, 2022

God does not want believers to isolate or insulate themselves from the world and those who are lost. Like salt, Christians are called to make the world tastier; and like light, believers will shine the brightest only in the darkest places.

We all have a purpose, but some of us choose to make ourselves useless by not allowing the Lord to touch us with His hand. To put it ...read more

But, it does not always work that way. You can tell ...read more
