God has appointed every believer in Christ to be an ambassador and testify about His power,saving grace and goodness in their lives. The Testimony of a believer is two-fold because people can tell if we are genuinely Christian in our words and actions. What people say and what we say about God matters in every circumstance because it can inspire believers and non believers in Christ to have faith and trust God.

God created us to have and be in healthy balanced relationships. He does not want us to journey through life in isolation. He wants to guide and lead us out of the outline of our most vital ever deepening relationship with Him. We should not allow the relationships in our lives lead us the wrong direction . Two or more cannot walk together except they are in agreement!

A Shepherd’s primary responsibility is the welfare and safety of the flock.He keeps away the wolves, finds good pasture while keeping a watchful eye on poisonous plants.

The grace of salvation is also the grace for rest in Him which transcends physical destinations. Jesus is more than able to give us rest in serene environment, in the midst of chaos or in the midst of a maddening crowd so we can finish the journey of faith and life strong.

We live in a world and time where there are so many options and voices than can throw our lives into Confusion.

God wants to lead us and give us all the wisdom, understanding and discernment we need in our journey through life.
