Have you been wanting to deepen your relationship with God? You probably spend time going to church, maybe even Sunday School or a Bible study.

Or even better, getting to the end of the month, quarter, and year to find that you’ve hit most, if not, every goal you made for yourself. Perhaps you want to pay off debt by a certain date and begin paying cash for everything. Maybe there’s a vacation you’ve always ... continue reading...
