When we take the time to read and meditate in the scriptures, it is very obvious that we are all called to gather, but the sad reality is that this alone does not necessarily mean that we are following and serving God.

There are many people in this world that wish to follow Christ, isn’t that true? How many people gathered here today wish to follow Christ?

| 8,954 views

But in reality, you cannot be expected to know more than that which you are taught. For example, I have never been taught how to use a jackhammer. And since ...read more

based on 1 rating

| 3,491 views

Discovering your name sometimes requires experiences of dark nights and aloneness. God must test our behaviour. He pushes us to see things that are not good for us, things that must change. He loves us far to much to leave us to our destructive behaviour
