    We must guard against pursuing our desires at the expense of do what honours God. Christians, especially, can lose effectiveness in service if they fail to consider the cost of their choices.

And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore, his name was called Edom.) Jacob said, “Sell me ...read more

    Sometimes people have a belief in their heart that if you become a Christian, everything's going to be better, you're not going to have any problems. But we know that when you become a Christian, that doesn't remove all of the problems

Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and ...read more
