How to Live for One Thing

Do you really think life can be about one thing? In a world of so many options, how do we focus on what’s really important? Can experiencing God help us live confidently for Him?

The Apostle Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament, addresses these issues.

How Does God Prepare Messengers?

In today’s world it’s as though everyone is just looking for a new way to get ahead. More and more you find people trying to become more motivated, more wealthy, have the most successful career, or the healthiest body.
