Be a God Pleaser
Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant. (Galatians 1:10 NLT) For a long time, I was a God pleaser and a people pleaser at the same time. So you can imagine how convicting the above passage wasContinueContinue reading “Be a God Pleaser”
