“We have been culturally conditioned to think that Christianity is all about sealing the deal. It’s like this is a marketing campaign and by the end of it, we should seal the deal, and somebody should be a Christian, a born again follower of Christ. And if you didn’t do that effectively, you didn’t seal the deal. This kind of thought process leaves 0% room for the Spirit of God… We’re functioning like salesmen and servants.”

We are all created in the image of God.
Does Your life reflect the new found in Christ… or the distorted version of sin & flesh?
