Footsteps to Zion

     While praying and meditating about the fellowship that God has planted us in, the Lord has impressed upon me what I call as “Immediates”. These pertain to things that would require immediate obedience, immediate repentance... Things that need to be immediately addressed in our fellowship:   The immediates : 1.Immediate need for purity 2.Immediate need for faith 3.Immediate need to press in  1. NEED FOR PURITY  - not just pertaining to being morally and sexually pure, but also being free from the defilement of he worldliness that surrounds us. - We should have a cautiousness, a sense of carefulness in the things we see and think of - Being married does not protect one from having purity struggles. - We should have excellence in purity.
