    New Year's: Kairos (God’s time) vs. kronos (the devil’s time). Kairos looks for what God is getting ready to do in the present moment; but kronos is a distraction that keeps people from using their lives - and time - wisely for the Lord.

Christians are not going to church as often as they once did. If these concerns are legitimate – which I believe they are ...read more
