God requires us to be merciful as He has been merciful to us, and to forgive as He has forgiven us. The following are steps to forgiving from our hearts.
Read MoreWe cannot make others what we want them to be, and they cannot keep us from being the person God created us to be. What we have freely received from God, we freely extend to others.
Read MoreWe glorify God by making ourselves known as Spirit-filled believers who give thanks to God always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Read MoreThe old self was crucified with Christ, but as believers we have to do our part in putting off the old self and putting on the new self, which means we must practice what God has already made us to be.
