James 2:19- 'You believe there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that- and shudder.' God doesn't just want us to have good theology He wants us to know and love Him.

We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.

I want to see people do more than simply raise their hand when they come to Christ. Where are the totally changed lives?
