Have you ever felt like you should pray or praise in a more specific way, but you couldn’t find the words? It seems like our words aren’t enough sometimes.

How you build from there is up to you. 1 Corinthians 3:12-15, “Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day… Continue reading What are You Building With?
