Series: Life
Frank Damazio
Introduction: What are the handful of principles that govern your life? The non-negotiable laws that you live by? In this message, we will look at five of the most basic principles for living.

You will never change your outcome until you change your daily principles. Life is a process. It is slow, not sudden. Principles are the rails on the railway track. They keep life moving in the right direction. We must be committed to godly principles that will govern our lives. In our life journey we need a handful of biblical principles to live by.

The slogan "Question Authority" reveals the underlying problem of opposing authority in every area of life. We are tolerating expressions of defiance, disorder, disrespec ...
