    The problem that faces every Christian is how to ascertain the will of God

    A Christian is one who has renounced his own will and submits to the will of God for his life. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; this was true of Paul when he said, “Lord, what will thou have me to do?” The same should be true of us.
