    It’s important to pray in a way that is not self-centered.

    based on 86 ratings
     | 6,739 views

    Nadab & Abihu serve as examples of what happens when we trivialize God and begin to live as if God doesn’t matter. Thank God for the grace that saves us from the consequences of our sin.

    The story of Nadab and Abihu is not one of the most prominent in the Bible. - Unlike Samson last week, not one of those commonly taught in Sunday School. - Not in many people’s top 10 list. Some are probably thinking “Nadab & Abi-who?” The Hebrews had just been led out of Egypt. They had followed ...read more

Some of us fear conflict, like the grass in the African proverb, “when bull elephants fight, the grass always loses.” ...read more
