Jesus: The One Who Calls, Equips, and Sends
And he said unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. (Matthew 4:19) Christmas reminds us that Jesus did not only come to save us — He came to call us, equip us, and send us as His representatives in this world. A Christian is not someone who merely believes in […]
By the Spirit, not by sight!
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. (Romans 8:5) Life is spiritual. Those who live by the Spirit rise above worry, fear, and overthinking. The carnal mind always tries to figure out how God will answer […]
Faithfulness in Small Things

Lessons from life of Elisha

Lessons from the life of Moses
