Read More We Must Praise – J. MossSo still on the relationship trip that we’ve been on for a few days now and there’s something marvellous about the relationship we develop with God that moves us beyond piety and pretence to desperation and admitted nakedness.

Read More I Need You Now – Smokie NorfulSo following the relationship deal, there is something very important about following Jesus and that’s recognising that we cannot make it on our own.
