JESUS IS OFFENSIVE

First Love is so often cultivated in worship. What is worship? How do we truly worship?

Trials and hardships are integral parts of the bible and they defined the early Christian church. With much prosperity teaching, we have forgotten the innumerable benefits of being tested by God.

What does it look like to love Jesus? How do we cultivate first love with Him? There is one thing that's needed.

Thought I'd hop on and just say hey and share a few new things I'm learning. I also answer your questions, which I think will impact a lot of people listening!

I struggle to come up with a title for a very important episode on God's character regarding trials and tests.

The Christian church of America has been plagued by false doctrine and complacency. You may think this doesn't apply to you, but it does. God is warning His church of their lukewarm habits and lifestyle. There is hope, but we need to change our lives. We have the knowledge but now we need to apply it.
