Ask the Right Questions - 30 March 2022


I learned a principle at Institute tonight that can help us to receive more answers from God! We often know the issues we should be asking God about, but we don't always know the questions to ask.

Perhaps the question I should be asking is "What should I be doing in my life to make a better decision about what I should do after graduation?"

Consider Kyle, who is striving to follow Christ. One day, in a particularly stressful s...
