Forward or backward? “One step forward in life, two backwards. Looks like the smarter we are, the farther behind we get. Where do we go from here?” (R. Halverson).

I am the vine, you are the branches. The one who abides in me while I abide in him produces much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you can ask for anything you want, and it will be yours. This is how my Father is glorified, when you produce a lot of fruits and prove to be my disciples. John 15:5, 6-7.
So let us keep on coming with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16.

Keep moving forward towards the throne.
