The Journey of a Christian is constantly taking us forward. We can only grow closer to Christ if we are willing to change, to be constantly working to allow God to move our orbit closer.

God is always sending us messages. Messages of all kinds. Our problem is that we often close our ears and our minds when those messages come to us. They may come in the shape of words, opportunities, wisdom from the past, or even in the events around us. It is our responsibility to listen and […]

Through his developing relationship with Paul, he changed and became a loyal follower of Christ.
