Where Is Your Free Will Taking You? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jul 1, 2019

Our free will is what got us in trouble in the first place. And unless we surrender it willingly and we are completely certain we don't ever want it back; God will not take it away from us.

Not only did God give each and every one of us a certain potential, but He also gave us the abilities to fulfill it. And the more we use them; the more pleased He is with us. As a matter of fact; our conscious involvements are expected of us by the divine. Jesus' parable of the three talents ...read more
