How can I know God’s will for my life? This is a question I hear all the time. Your best bet and definitely the best place to start is by reading the Bible. If you’ve never read the whole thing, and aren’t still ploughing through it day by day,...

How did you become who you are today? Are you the person you envisioned you would be 10 years ago? We are all products of our past, aren’t we? Every one of us have been shaped and moulded to be who/what we are today. We have made thousands of decisions...
