He is the One Who ties us up closer to the Sun, Who prunes us and tends to the ground we grow out of. […]

I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.” The idea here is that once a character trait of Christ has come to fruition in the life of a believer it should remain […]
