It seems the world is full of advice! Even a straw at a famous coffee shop can give you advice. “Not \"IMG_7541\"<\/a>recommended…”<\/p>\n

How often do we actually take advice given?\u00a0Are we more quick to say “That doesn’t apply to me” or “That might work for someone else…”?<\/p>\n

What’s the best piece of advice you have received about faith? What was some advice you got that was “not recommended?” Please feel free to share either in the comment section.<\/p>\n
