TO SEE , AND SOMETIMES UNKNOWINGLY DECEIVED

The cross symbolizes the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, reminding us of the death that grants us life. Throughout history, various interpretations and obsessions with the cross have emerged, often leading to misuse in the name of Christianity. While traditions continue to persist, the Bible emphasizes a personal relationship with God over rituals. Carrying our burdens and seeking divine guidance defines true faith. In our quest to follow biblical teachings, we find clarity and a path to genuine freedom and peace in our lives.

ME OR YOUR OWN …? AS I WALKED A PATH WITH THE LORD, GOD, IT IS INCREDIBLE HOW MUCH UNDERSTANDING AND PATIENCE HE HAS WITH US AS PEOPLE …BECAUSE HE MADE US OFCOURSE …

  5. FOR HIM EACH DAY IS NEW … A CHANCE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT … HE REMOVES OUR SIN SO FAR AWAY FROM US … HE OPENS OUR EYES EVERY MORNING TO EXPERIENCE LIFE … HE IS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF OUR HEARTS … WILL WE LET HIM IN … THIS IS A PERSONAL AFFAIR BETWEEN US AND THE LORD,GOD … NOBODY CAN HELP US WITH THIS … THE HOLY SPIRIT OFTEN VISITS US TO TRY US TO CHOOSE THE WAY OF LIFE … REAL FREEDOM AND PEACE OF MIND …
