What Are You Doing Here?

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 7, 2000

God won’t let us sit in our caves, OR, come in with us.

I want to begin by asking you a question. Are you in a cave? What I mean by that is, is your personal world made up of walls; job, family, friends, hobbies, recreation? It can also be not so much a physical thing; but, is your cave made up of fears, doubts, complacency, ...read more

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 1, 2017

Be More In Me Than Me

Contributed by Sherry Proskine on Sep 8, 2008

To go we have to follow. To follow we have to die. Anyone seen carrying his cross, it was clear he was on his way to die. This word picture describes dying to personal pursuits and following Him completely. This is the key to a successful spiritual life
