    based on 36 ratings
     | 40,798 views

    At times we have to strip ourselves of the stiff and wooden qualities and disrobe ourselves of the contentment and complacency that strangles our devotion to holiness and boldness.

    Romans 1:13-17 There’s no doubt about Paul - he was sold out for Christ! He could not have accomplished such a life of faith without this trait! A verse that stands out regarding being sold out for God is... Matthew 6:33 “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness...” The word “seek” ...read more

  • Moses: From Contentment To Calling

    based on 1 rating
     | 26 views

It continued that contentment is found by cultivating a thankfulness for “little ...read more
