It’s time to take a spiritual assessment. Let’s get real so that we can get right. There is a better way than our way. Our opinion is not what determines where we are spiritually.

Jesus said in John 10:10 that He came so that we could have life and have it more abundantly. Yet, we worry, fear, and struggle with insecurity. None of those sound like abundant living.
