By definition, the future is not yet here. No matter how much you try to know it and secure it, there are many potential unknowns. If you don’t have the certainty of God being with you in the future, how do you approach it? At best you can try to be optimistic - identifying things that give you some...
Sin is not talked about so much these days. Not even in churches. But sin is still sin, and it separates us from God as much as it ever did.
