    Today I want to take a closer look at the life of a woman we meet in the Bible. She seems to have this “intimacy with God” thing figured out about as well as anyone. Her name is Mary. And the interesting thing about Mary is where you often find her in relation to Jesus in various ...read more

     | 5,199 views

    Purity isn’t just being clean; it’s being single-minded and intentionally focused. In this instance, God wants us to be focused on His kingdom and righteousness.
