Have you ever noticed that the vast majority of people that profess Christs seem to fall away within a few years? I believe the modern church does a horrible job of setting expectations for a new life in Christ. Key Points: Telling new Christians they will get their heart's desire sets them up for false expectations. Two Christian opponents may both pray for victory.

He promises to go through them with us.

The world is upside down and everyone has an opinion. Where do you get your advise from?
