Sitting Down With God

             " But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created everything, and we live for him. And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom God made everything and through whom we have been given life."                                                                         1 Corinthians 8:6 (NLT) 1.)     God is our source 2.)   He provides for us 3.)   We should be dependent on Him I was talking with a coworker the other day and as I was listening to her a question popped up in my mind.   “Is God my source or my back-up plan?”...
