MTC Aug 2013 – Days 3-5
This is such a refreshing emphasis that I had to reblog. Let all that we do to serve Jesus be rooted in the knowledge that He is coming again and that He is indeed en route as we pray now. Let the Spirit and the bride say ‘come, Lord Jesus’ – Amen

The Presence Project will be available here to view for free at the beginning of September 2013.
