Attitudes And The Christian

00:00 / 18:17

I’m thinking about people I’ve met over the years, some from childhood. Though I can’t remember some of their names, there’s a kind of “imprint” of the kind of person they impressed me to be.

I’m sure you’ve heard stories of people who died but came back to life. Some have been miraculously healed of serious diseases.

I’ve prayerfully and extensively thought about this perspective. God has blessed this pensive exploration with some interesting ideas. It has to do with “why don’t I change?”

Faith Jump!
