Involved or Committed?
Pastor preached on being ‘involved’ or ‘committed’ in the things of God. I’ve found that when we vacillate between God’s Plan and our plan, our spiritual growth is stunted, our maturity in Christ will be blocked, and our daily experience as a Christian will be marked by disillusionment, discouragement, and defeat.
