Two Ways
John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Talk about a contrast! In the passage above, which side do you want to be on?! Two ways. Two endpoints. And they are drastically different. So, wouldn’t you think that if you had…

Drawing Near to God
James 4:8 “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” How close are you to God? How close do you want to be? The verse above instructs us of a simple truth – if we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. So how, exactly, does one do this? …
