Delays
As I mature in my walk with the Lord, I am beginning to see the burden that the Lord has placed upon my shoulders. I am seeing so many people receiving salvation and being baptized, only then to go about their earthly lives. They are essentially stuck in baptism. For many reasons known and unknown …
Demonstrating the Manifold Wisdom of God
The question is: “What is our purpose for being in the world?” Jesus clearly states in John 6:38 what His purpose is: to do the will of God. I believe this question is something that most people at some point in their lives ponder. It breaks my heart to think of the number of individuals …
