I’ll hear again about how bad I am, how I’ll never measure up to God’s rules and regulations… Or the other side, a response like this, "Great! Finally, we are getting ...read more

They want to be handed all the blessings of peace, prosperity, and providence which somehow they think God represents but they fall short of diligently seeking Him. That if I do what the pastor ...read more
