True Christian discipleship is the process of learning to live from Christ instead of for Christ. Imagine Christ clothing Himself in your personality and body as the vehicle through which He is going to live His life. Thinking and looking from you, what do you believe Jesus’s thoughts and feelings are? Does He feel anxious […]

Romans 15:15-18 NASB95  But I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from God, [16] to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that my offering of the

Acts 19:11 NASB95 God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, Christianity has nothing to do with our ability.

Anything is possible once you believe you are worthy in Christ of achieving it. God loves us with all of His heart, soul, mind, and strength. That never changes, and it has nothing to do with what we do or don’t do. It only depends on Who He is, and in Him there is no
