    Many times those who are underestimated and considered failures go on to accomplish great things in society. The same principle is true in the kingdom. The Lord oftentimes uses people who are rejected to bring glory to His name.

It’s at this place that many believers come to a screeching halt. They look at themselves ...read more

But God's like, "Nope, I don't look at the outside; I look at the heart." So, none of Jesse's seven sons present ...read more
