     | 4,837 views

    We can’t gussy up our attitudes or actions to make them seem righteous on the outside and think that we are pleasing God. It’s much better to be transparent and let God deal with you, than try to hide sin under a pretty blanket.

Not, I goofed, or I’m guilty – but an error in judgment was made. That goes right along with this one: "I assume responsibility for all of my actions, except the ...read more

    FAITH TO STAND (part 3) Satan offered Jesus the world for "a song." The devil still offers us the world if we are willing to just bow to his idols. You can have faith to stand when others freely bow their knee.
