Faith Journey 9 - A New Heart ...

Tuesday, Feb 8, 2011. On our tour into the land of faith we are currently reading the promise which is written in the prophet Ezekiel. It is a promise of God, the Lord, to send someone who is able to transform mankind deeply. He is called a saviour and prince of peace.

The renewal of our hearts is important. It is necessary. It is our only chance. We all need this renewal, good and bad, young and old. We all need to be changed, loosers and winners, the rich and the poor, members of the church and non-members of the church.
