For those who would call themselves Christ-Followers, Sunday was HUGE!

I think sometimes we wrongly think that the only people who make a difference or have “impact” for God are the “professionals.”  You know, the pastors, evangelists, worship leaders, authors, etc. Sure, as Christ Followers we’d never say that out loud; but we think it and often act and even live like it.  We know [...]
