What’s the difference between the unsaved version of you and the saved version of you? Beyond the fact that you’re going to Heaven and you have the option of dropping to your knees and and whispering a prayer in crisis situations, what is it that constitutes a practical advantage over that version of you that […]
Earlier this year, I participated in a prayer campaign that included some instruction as well as some encouragement that I perceived as a cue to “pray big!” So, I did.
