The Gift of The Holy Spirit

Gifts From Above #3

The Gift of All We Need for a Godly Life
by  Randy Roper
Do you ever start a project, get about halfway through it and realize you don't have what you need to finish the job? We sometimes feel that way as Christians. We want to "finish the race and fight the good fight," but sometimes we don't feel equipped to run or fight. The Bible has some good news for us when we don't feel equipped as believers.

Compelled (Sharing Faith)
