    Christians are all on the same team! Regardless of denominations, countries, or language, we are all doing our part when we help build the Kingdom of God together.

    WITHIN EVERY HUMAN HEART LIES THE YEARNING TO BE AFFIRMED, UNDERSTOOD, AND USEFUL.

     | 350 views

    The problem in many churches and hearts isn’t always blatant sin—it’s spiritual clutter. It’s forms, traditions, methods, or habits that once served a purpose but are now lifeless.

    In these verses we see a group of people who have come out from the spiritual honeymoon period. And there are three things that Jesus says to these church members at Ephesus that I believe He wants to say to us.

    You know, for every sort of relationship there is a honeymoon period, a time when everything is lovey-dovey and wonderful. All sorts of differences are overlooked during this time. All words are spoken kindly. Every consideration is given to the other party. It’s just a nice and peachy time. ...read more
