This same mindset also keeps us from knowing that we have been accepted by God and His great love. ...read more

    Most of us are tired and weary of the same old, same old when we come to church. We don’t want to feel like when we attend that we are simply going through the motions. People no longer come to church because it is the right thing to do.
