Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me (NIV). Continue reading “The Risky Business of the Gospel”

It’s so easy to let fear dictate your life. I know, because I often find myself doing just that. I let the fear of failure stop me from stepping out, I let the fear of man control my value and self-esteem, I let the fear of an unknown future paralyse me from enjoying the present.
