Now remain in my love. 10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. ...read more

    GROWING PAINS? Satan tries to undermine the Word of God and the importance of our faith in God. Eyes can’t always see what God is doing because most of what God does is in the spiritual realm. We can’t see the wind but we can see the results of it. Its very disturbing to think of the great ...read more

    Sometimes, In these later years especially, I think that we Christians have spiritualized what we believe a little too much.
