A God of Order

October 22, 2019

A.W. Tozer once said that “What you think about God is the most important thing about you.” The reason is that what you think will influence what you do and how you live.

So, what is your spiritual gift? And, are you using your gifts for the common good?

What makes a person spiritual?

September 4, 2019

“I am a spiritual person,” means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. 1 Corinthians 12:1-3 speaks to a church who thought they were spiritual but in reality were not. So the question comes then, what makes a person spiritual?
