In the American church we largely ignore this ...read more

    What is your response to the Potter today? Are you yielding all of your rights to Him so He can transform you according to His perfect plan, process and power?

    Quote: Transformation is rooted in the Greek word, metamorphisis. A complete change from one form to another form happens when when a caterpillar turns in to a beautiful butterfly. That is what God wants us to experience as we speak the truth in love out of obedience and grow up in all aspects into ...read more

Words like love, peace, and faith are best defined in the Bible. The author of the Book of Hebrews defines faith in these ...read more
