Acknowledging God: It’s easy to allow current friends, trends, and peer pressure to prevent us from acknowledging our faith. Man’s way isn’t THE way. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. “Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly …
Available? The question is not if God is moving among us. The question is, are we available? “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’” – Isaiah 6:8 “God doesn’t need our ability. He needs our …
Boldness: John the Baptist knew Jesus, and he knew Jesus’ purpose.
