Did you know the word worship is used 496 times in the NLT version of the Bible? 496 times. Do you think worship is important to God? You and I were created to worship and we will worship someone or something. It’s built in. I think that’s why God spoke about it so often. Who,…
You’ve heard the quote from Martin Luther, “Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly.” I woke up the other morning with the words “sin boldly” on my mind. Not your typical opening thought for the day? Not mine either. I believe it was God’s nudge for me…
