Only God can give us a new beginning. Commitment to Him is essential to become a new person. In this devotional material written by the three pastors of LifeCity Church, Arnold Gamboa, Mike Medlin and Prudy Verzo. They poured their hearts about Commitment and Recommitment to God.

The dictionary definition of commitment is "the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, or relationship." As followers of Christ, we are called to live lives of commitment. Commitment is a powerful force that drives us to persevere, endure, and thrive in our walk with God.

It is about obedience, discipline, and determination. It will not only help us understand our purpose in life but also help see us through its storms and struggles. Let bestselling author Lois Evans guide you into a deeper level of commitment to Christ.
