This is a revisit … of sorts. I wrote on this subject back when I was just beginning my blog, 2010.

Most of us live our Christian lives somewhere between accepting Jesus as Lord and the ‘professional’ ministry. We try to live our lives, albeit in the trenches, as best we can. Many have no idea of the abundant, rich life that await us. This state is because we… don’t realize or don’t act on the
