I Am With You In The Fire Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 29, 2020

Most of our anxiety in hard decisions is worrying about the outcome. But the real issue is pleasing God in the way you go about making the decision. If option A and option B would be equally pleasing to God, how important could the decision possibly be?

And the reason is because no one is perfect, right? There’s no such thing as a ...read more
