     | 5,573 views

    Remembering God’s goodness puts a song in your heart. What is the purpose of Christian song writing today? Where have we failed in it and how can we retract from it and set our hearts on songs that worship and please God alone. Consider what God might wan

    As I follow Jesus as his disciple, I can live a life of eternal purpose and significance.
