The victorious Christian life flies on two wings. Without both wings operating then you will only fly around in circles, never advancing. The two wings that make you fly in the victorious Christian life is surrender, and faith. Surrender is absolutely imperative, and it is impossible to live the victorious Christian life without the issue […]
I think love can be summed up with two words; sacrifice and risk. During Passion Week, and especially on The Cross Jesus demonstrated what love looks like.

2 Cor. 12:7, Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself! 8 Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9 And
