    Recently, my wife and I moved into a new condo. But as I began work on our new home, I began to see a formula for pushing for purification in our own life.

    Purify Proverbs 4:25-27 Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil. The definition of purify: pur-i-fy: a : to clear from material ...read more

     | 10,000 views

    This is the 6th sermon in a series on Paul’s letter to the Romans. The problem with living sacrifices is they keep getting down off the altar.
