    Seek God first and the things of God will find you! God isn’t intrested in being a part of our lives, He’s more intrested in becoming our life. Let examine why!

    Introduction Many view God as an ornament to be worn around the neck or hung from their car’s rearview mirror. Lately it seems fashionable and sheek to lay ones Bible in the rear window. God isn’t intrested in being a piece of jewelry nor just layed on the dash of our cars. He isn’t intrested in ...read more
