Make christ your all,let him dwell in your thoughts and actions. Even as you share the truth do it in humility.

we need to be constantly studding Gods word too few Christians know Gods word or God ...we are not sharing the good news as we were commanded to do and not spending time in reading praying and waiting on the Holy Spirit who is our helper. The word of God must be like fire in our bones Jeremiah 20 vs 9 and Jermiah 5 vs 14 We have lost our passion and are luke warm like Reve 3 vs15
