However, as I have grown wiser and more knowledgeable through my relationship with GOD, and I have come to a better understanding of the relationship... Continue Reading →
Two Feet Away from Deeper Intimacy
Christ engaged His disciples in a foot washing ceremony to teach them a few things about how they were to serve each other and to lay a foundation for them to better understand the purpose for His coming.
