The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. (Psalm 37:23 NLT) When I first became a Christian at 23 years old, I was terrified of the call of God. I have a degree in Mandarin Chinese and I was certain that God was going to call me…

As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. (1 Thessalonians 4:1). There seems to be an epidemic in the modern church of Christians who think God is displeased with them. He’s not. He loves you and is the Good…
