     | 2,588 views

    When we trust Jesus as our Savior, everything changes in our relationship with God. Our motivation, our status, and our expectations. In Romans 8:12-17, God defines our relationship status.

    Defining the Relationship Romans 8:12-18 This week, I asked several people around me if they knew t what a DTR was.

    This was done as a dramatic monologue, as if I were Mark; and costumed according to Mark 14:51-52! It makes use of one of Mark’s favorite words, "immediately", and argues that Jesus expects immediate response to His call.

He just does not wait for anything. He acts immediately. So, again, what’s happening here? What ...read more
