Thrive Where You Are At

Putting sin out of our lives is the process of finding and removing individual sins. We are also instructed to come out of sin which is the process of overcoming the sinful environment of this world. God has called us to live at a higher standard than this world. God is bigger than any of problems of this world and He promises to help us thrive where we are if we look to Him for help.
