 We all have our opinions about things. However, sometimes it seems that if one does not agree with the other person’s opinion they are judged as not being right with God. Are we all 100% right with God, 100% of the time? Of course not. We all have our moments. If we did not, we…

Why are we doing what we are doing? Is it to look good to others around us or are we doing it for the Lord? I ask this question, because I see so many times people only do what is in their job description. I do not work at my Church in a paid position…
