Where there is order and doing things God’s ways, there is peace… and things just function properly. Where there is disorder, there is confusion and chaos… things don’t function properly. If God is Creator of all things, He knows how life should be live. The lie = living your life to the fullest means doing things your way. Truth = living life to t…

What is God saying to you? As disciples, our heart posture should be that of someone who seeks the Lord with all our heart, but also people who seek His voice and what He is actively saying to me, in a personal way.

At the start of 2020, many people in the church were claiming that 2020 was the "year of vision". Then coronavirus hit, and no one saw it coming.
