Week Five: The Affections of Christ… ONE THING
One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. (Ps. 27:4, NIV)

Week Four: The affection of Christ and experience

The way ahead is tough, necessary, and glorious
