John 18:33-38
Determined to ask a question that few have asked, I ask with reverence, “Who is Your best friend God?” It’s not an easy question to ask with reverence, so when does that part come in? Sorry, “What do you look for in a best friend?” Better, but now it’s not an easy question to answer. …
What do accountable people all have in common? One thing is, they love for their works to be seen. Of course, LORD, ask away. All of us do, at least in some regard. So then, in a follow-up answer to your question, “What average people throw their life away,” I’d have to say unbelievers.Ā Does …

Sometimes we look at the world and think that it’s pretty crazy.Ā Are we comforted in other’s derision?Ā If this is our plan for fellowship, it’s easy to lose sight of the hope the world is entitled to.Ā Let God and me illustrate the importance of being honest when speaking with Jesus.Ā We must learn …
