Live, Multiply, Possess

We are hard wired for worship. We are going to worship something. Just like we will be slaves to something. Romans 6:16

Our love for God is the reason we follow His commands. His commands are what direct us past the land mines of life, protect us from the snares of the enemy, and lead the Children of Israel into the promised land
