No Less
On March 19, 2012, I was talking to the Lord about stuff going on in my life. I had just written out my devotions from the book of Amos, chapters 1-2. I was thinking about how Amos was just a shepherd when God called him to be a prophet and to give out his messages. … Continue reading No Less

My Witnesses

When Jesus spoke of his sheep, he was speaking of his true followers.

This is the mark of a true disciple of Jesus Christ. … Continue reading My Sheep
