“Churchgoers all across the nation say the Holy Spirit has entered them. They claim that God has given them a supernatural ability to follow Christ, put their sin to death, and serve the church. Christians talk about being born again say that they they were dead but now have come to life. We have become hardened to those words, but they are powerful words that have significant meaning. Yet when those outside the church see no difference in our lives, they begin to question our integrity, out sanity, or even worse, our God.

Let us not take God's truth for granted.” UseCareChristianSpiritualChurchPoorOur LivesQuietSickNeighborGrantedMusclesConferencesImpressiveQuiet TimePosers Book:He Walks Among Us: Encounters with Christ in a Broken World Source: He Walks Among Us: Encounters with Christ in a Broken World
