     | 4,977 views

    This portion of Scripture strongly encourages Christians to live lives of unceasing prayer, praise, and practical sanctification. God pleasing, Bible based conduct draws us closer to God and to each other.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,722 views

    This sermon deals with some of the reasons we fail to draw close to God and the virtues of being close to God.

    How close is close enough? Closer Zeno’s paradox. Imagine I had high school boys and girls lined up at opposite ends of the gym and had them half the distance between them every 10 seconds, how long would it be before they are touching? Well, if I always half the distance, they will never ...read more
