    Ever think of why we don’t follow God’s leading? I don’t know about you, but I can think of at least 3 or 4 GREAT reasons not to follow God -- but are they good enough?

Which is to say, Since the Lord is my leader, I will not need anything else. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he ...read more
