as for the Lord
as you serve them and pray for them but do nt try and please them.We no longer follow the ways of the world we live to please the Lord and worship him not man because that is idolatory.Thats why religion does nt work we can do nothing to add to Gods grace.Grace is also not a licence to sin
as some christians believe and God is not fooled if we do not repent and turn from our sin he does nt hear our prayers if the intents of our heart are wrong.God listens to the humble and the repentent sinner or saint.The journey in following Christ is about how much do we want to follow Jesus to discover the abundant life and richs in Christ we must fully give him all our hearts and serve him wholehearted out of
thankfulness for his grace and mercy towards us.brentnz
