Your Life Today
Is your life today what you pictured it would be? When you were making goals last year, is this what you envisioned? Did you expect things to be different than they are? Are you comparing your life to someone else’s? It may not be. For some of you, you have faced things you never imagined,… Continue reading Your Life Today
Are You Living in Bondage?
Before salvation, we all lived in bondage. We were all slaves to sin and self. Hearing and accepting the gospel set us free from that. The cell door was opened and we were able to step out of the bondage and into a new life- a life of freedom. However, too many Christians have stepped… Continue reading Are You Living in Bondage?
