On one hand it was an obvious opportunity and a way to serve God by spreading the gospel. On the other hand I was scared to death. We were going to a ...read more

    Jesus did the will of the Father and finished His work. He knows His purpose in life, set the right priority, and has a passion for the lost. We want to know our purpose, set the priority and develop the passion exemplified by Christ.

Someone said, “The greatest danger in life is in permitting the urgent ...read more
