Sharing the message of salvation is the believer’s mostContinue reading “THE TRUE MARK OF WISDOM: WINNING SOULS FOR CHRIST.”

Life operates on principles—spiritual laws that govern outcomes. A principle is simply a truth that explains how things work or why they turn out the way they do. These aren’t optional. They apply to everyone, everywhere, and are clearly outlined in God’s Word. One unchanging spiritual law is the principle of sowing and reaping. WhenContinue reading “YOUR HARVEST REFLECTS YOUR SEED.”

As a Christian, you must seek the Lord first and prioritize your relationship with Him above all else. Self-denial means surrendering your own desires and pleasures to follow Christ. It requires sacrificingContinue reading “DENY YOURSELF.”
