     | 6,170 views

    As a believer in CHRIST JESUS, having been sealed by HIS SPIRIT within us, we know our future. So, we should live our lives with expectation, as ready to meet and greet HIM, ready and together as one BODY. But we must see the difference, know the difference of what it is to “be holy”.

We expect others to stop at stop signs. In fact, we have a lot of expectations about how others should act. Our days are full of ...read more
