Walking with God, Digesting Scripture and Pointing Others to Grow Deeper in their Faith
Nicodemus asked Jesus a question: How can someone be born again? How can someone have new life? I too felt a need for a rebirth in my life as I became weary of living my own way. My heart was unsettled. I felt like I was tossed back and forth by the wind. I had... Continue Reading →
