Mark 1:15

The actual reality of living each day for Jesus – by the power of Holy Spirit – is impossible without the actualization of Romans 12:1, 2. How does one “yield their body” to God?

Romans 4:19-25

In order for us to experience purposeful living we must be active participants who are daily engaged with and encountering God’s abiding presence. (See yesterday’s Breakfast Club.)
