Are You Ready To Stop Backsliding?

Today Can Be Different Posted on September 18, 2024 by SherylSeptember 18, 2024

We have no hope of changing if we don’t change who or what we surrender ourselves to. Whether we’re yielding to peer pressure, fear of failure, rejection or the devil himself, we’ve got to do whatever is necessary to start loving God more than we love our sin.
