God’s will and your willingness
Christians can spend a lifetime wondering about the will of God. Conferences, fasting, pleading with him in prayer and asking everyone who offers to pray that it will be revealed.

Commit to committing differently
There are two problems in the Church today that I don't think get enough air time and because of this I reckon it causes a lot of burn out and leaves individuals feeling purposeless. People overcommitting themselves , and committing ourselves to the wrong things. We all know a person or people in our Christian... Continue Reading →
