Why I left the ICOC and then came back – Pat Hlophe
August 30, 2021
Pat grew up in South Africa and has overcome some intense challenges. She tells her story of joining and leaving the church, and then coming back.
Put God first by crucifying the idols that steal your time, money and talent. Prioritise Jesus's kingdom, make spiritual effort, and give your best to grow.
Conflict begins in the heart. Jesus calls us to own our part, pursue peace, avoid gossip, show mercy and bless rather than avenge.
Because Jesus reconciled us to God through the cross, we are called to pursue reconciliation with God, one another, and the world around us.
