     | 24,396 views

    God is speaking to us through our worship, in the songs we sing, the Scriptures read and the message delivered. What you will walk away with will be determined by how well you listen to God. What is necessary to listen well?

    Too often, we run from challenges. Yet the people we love to read about in the Bible are impressive because they battled challenges. If God sends you on stony paths, He will provide you with strong shoes.

I agree that Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport was definitely a thrill ride for passengers and surely a challenge for ...read more
