Many so-called Christian leaders have made inadequate progress, having become content with their spiritual walk. In the same way, many believers have settled for immaturity as the norm. And many have lost the zeal for spiritual growth. Maybe they never had it. After years of a successful ministry and a close relationship with God, the …
The deep, heartfelt desire of God is that His will be expressed in our character and behavior.

When Jesus became Lord of our lives, we became a new creation! We received a new source of life — God Himself! He immediately began to initiate changes in our lives.

The 23rd Psalm is considered by many to be the most beautiful passage in the entire Bible.
