    Contributed by Donald Mcculley on Mar 20, 2019
     | 2,449 views

    ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE ... THERE ARE STATEMENTS DESIGNED TO MAKE US AWARE OF POTENTIAL DANGER. The Lord reveals to us those things; knowing what is best for us and what can hurt our relationship to Him. We are often informed of wrong choices, and told of the expected consequences. We need to be ...read more

    Jesus entrusts believers with real spiritual authority, inviting us to pray boldly and trust God’s wisdom as we partner with Him to bring heaven to earth.

    Some of you jingled a set of keys on your way in today. House keys. Car keys. Office keys. Each one says, “You belong here. You can open this.” Keys are tiny, but they carry quiet authority. They don’t raise their voice. They don’t flash and flare. They simply turn, and doors obey. That’s why the ...read more
