One day while Mr. Jones was chatting with Mr. Smith about yard work, Mr. Jones happened to mention that he had only cut the grass in his front yard that week because ...read more

    The call of the Holy Spirit is always to a higher place. It is a dangerous thing to settle anywhere along the way. There should be built into the DNA of the believer the desire fore more of God.
