    "What Do You Seek?"

    based on 5 ratings
     | 13,000 views

    Jesus asks a very pertinent question of us all. He already knows the answer, so what does that tell us about His motive in asking?

In many Christian circles, you rarely even hear about fasting; and yet, the Scripture mentions it more times ...read more
