Bearing The Yoke

Posted on March 19, 2019 by pastorgoforth • 1 Comment

Just a short thought about bearing the yoke, that is the struggles of life. MOST TIMES: we are trying to “lay God at the foot of our problems.”  That is we try and bring God to our struggles and ask him to fix them, explain, them, etc.  But by doing that, we are interpreting God … Continue reading →
