Do not use spirituality as a front to mask and to hide the fact that you are not living in the Spirit! Do not allow yourself to be only passionate of the things of Christ when it benefits you and when it looks good. He does not deserve our confusing praise.
Excited to be back! I hope and pray you love it!
