Life is a Theatre. There are play-makers and play-viewers, but more of play-viewers than play-makers. Life is Short. It is not how long, but how well.

Ask the Lord to show you how to be merciful as He is. He reaches out to the unlovable, befriends those the world would rather forget and touches those who seem untouchable.

IJOSWIL
06-Nov-2017

Some of the leading voices to the younger generation are more concerned with being cool than being Christlike. They pat themselves on the back for things they are able to do because of their “freedom” in Christ, than their being bound to Christ. They speak little of the cross, dying to self and being a world changer.
