Free in Christ

What does it mean to be “free in Christ”? Truly it means our sins are forgiven and we are no longer under condemnation. Amen. And, if we are in Christ, by faith in him, we, thus, have the hope of eternal life with God in glory. But, is there more to this freedom than that? … Continue reading Free in Christ

Do we live what we say we believe? Or, is our belief just words? Or, is it just a religion? Or is it just religious practices, rituals and ceremonies?

Surely, each of our testimonies would be as individual as we are, but there should also be a common thread weaved throughout all of them. The Lord Jesus … Continue reading A Common Thread

Not in Freedom!

My heart is burdened. Why is it so burdened? Because so many Christians, or professing Christians, are walking (living) in sin and not in freedom!
