Sinful But Called

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 5, 2025

The power of God’s word, spoken to Peter and the others by the very Word of God, Son of the Father, was enough to kick in the adrenaline and motivate the fishermen to fish longer in the worst time of day in the part of the lake with the worst prospects.

Contributed by Kent Kessler on Nov 5, 2024

Why be separate? We cannot invite people into the temple of God and into his holiness and wholeness if we are not separate and are identified as different. If we do not represent God, how can we invite people to come to him?
