The Abundant Life Blueprint

Here is today's communion meditation.   Lately the idea of 4 dimensions keeps coming up, and it reminded me of Revelation 7:1 which says, " After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree." There are four corners of the earth, 4 winds, and also 4 dimensions. I...

He gives us self-control with the abili...
