I forgot how good song this is! Recently played my "Hillsong" playlist, and seeing that I haven't updated it since college, all the songs just brought me back to those days at Calvin when I was studying or spending time with God.

People sign on the website and are connected to different people to talk about Jesus. I have never  understood John 3:19-21 as clearly as I do now. So many people come on the website with questions about a sin they're living in and hoping to receive affirmation for the decisions they're making. However, the curious thing is that they know  they are living in sin, but they do not want to change. Then when using the Bible to direct them to Jesus, they reject it. Many of these people are C
