The Sheep's Responsibility
Duane Bemis
Ezekiel 34
As we learn to embrace our cross every day, we must understand that we, as God's sheep, have certain responsibilities.

Our personal responsibility is to find Jesus, because God is never the problem, but today's sheep run to anything and everything. They run from church to church, from pastor to pastor, and from book to book, but the Lord ...
