college-age conference sharing – on our Christian Journey, Lord, make us willing to consecrate ourselves for God’s Building
Our Christian Life is a journey. It begins with our exodus from Egypt and our crossing of the Red Sea. But it doesn’t end there. Rather, our salvation and our baptism were only the beginning of a life long journey with the Lord. So let us not stop or wander forever in the wilderness but […]
