How God initiates a MAN!
A young man once lamented to me, “I’ve been a Christian since I was five — no one ever showed me what it means to really be a man.” He’s lost now.

When they’d see those passages about Jesus telling people to give up everything, … Continue reading What am I Worshipping?
I Serve God – What does it truly mean?
“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15). What does that mean? It means to do what he says in a way that makes him look supremely valuable in himself. It means to submit to him in a way that makes him look thrilling. There are ways to submit to God that … Continue reading I Serve God – What does it truly mean?
