One of the benefits of being at the church all day is that you get to be at the church all day. You get to be at all the services. You get to see how God works in all different ways.

Dying to self like Jesus

May 29th, 2007 · No Comments · Internship (EDJ), Ministry Insights

If I could summarize all that God has done in the past two years, it would be “dying to self.” Learning to put God’s desires over my own. Learning to put other’s before myself.
