i think i'm talking about both. they seem to be connected to me in a way. i believe we 'hear' God through scripture, through the traditions of the church...
Hi Larry, If you believe that you hear from God in those ways, then surely your belief system demands obedience to what you hear? Jesus made it pretty clear...
i agree with what you've said here. i wonder if, when we don't obey but then turn our lives around, are we still living God's best for us. if i have turned my...
