     | 6,619 views

    We know that it is not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord, but we set out on our walk with the Lord by sight and might. We need Romans 8 to keep us walking by faith. The right way to walk with God is by the Spirit of God.

You can sit in church your whole life and never let Christ into your heart. You can try very hard to adjust your outward ...read more
