We must consider the place where God has placed us in the marketplace as His calling. That said, we must also consider our calling is to utilize the power within us as disciples of Jesus, to transform the place in which He has placed us. I know how to be brought low, and […]
The apostle John, as well as other apostles, were intent on proclaiming the truth about Jesus, even while facing death. Their testimonies are proven reliable as are those of Old Testament prophets who spoke of the coming Messiah. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon […]
Chances are that already many new year resolutions have failed. As professing Christians, we might all take heed to the words of a song by Tim McGraw titled “Live Like You Were Dying”.
