“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” — Galatians 2:20
What made Simon and Andrew drop everything and follow Jesus immediately after he said “Come, follow me?” Was it Jesus’ charisma or the [...]

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” — Romans 8:38-39
