Book: 1 John

So if you need to answer the question, Is God present at my church? ask yourself the question, Are there Christ-followers at church? If there are, then Christ is there. As the church loves one another, God abides in us, & we can see & experience Christ in one another.

God’s general presence provides us with a faint memory of what no longer exists. Sin has caused our worst wound in separating us from God’s actual presence.
This is the great pain that all mankind lives with: the absence of God.

You don’t have to fall into temptation. You don’t have to take the bait. You don’t have to … let selfish desires dominate your life and undo your marriage, your family, your friendships, business, your relationship with God.. You don’t have to.

The Root Reason for Lying Is Because We Don’t Completely Trust God.

Jesus sets the tone for who we are to love and how we are to love.
