It doesn’t matter what religion you identify with, or if you identify with any religion at all–what matters is that you are a good person.

But could this idea be thwarting the initiative to s...

What stops us from allowing God’s power to be manifest in and through us? Sin -right? Not exactly. Sin is a problem–nut not THE problem.

We all want more. More money, more time, more success, more prestige, more pleasure, more fun, more friends, fans, and followers… we all want more. But often the more we want the less we have. Why do we often lose what we worked so hard for? How do we get more?
