    True peace and purpose come from drawing near to God, letting go of distractions, and seeking His presence above all else in our daily lives.

    Friends, some weeks feel like a treadmill stuck on high speed. Our calendars crowd us, our phones buzz at us, and our souls sigh within us.

    If taught correctly these verses will encourage our security in Christ! The Believer in Christ ought to be the most secure person with their relationship with God. Sadly, it seems just the opposite. So it’s time that changes!

    Every person has been put on this planet for two reasons, first, to know God and secondly, to show that God in their life! So basically, everything less is just a waist of time! The average Christian doesn’t know the difference between union with Christ and communion with Christ: (verse 5 is ...read more
