    HEB.12:14&15 When this says looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God, it’s not telling us to check everyone else out to see if they measure up, no this is telling us to look into our own lives. It’s easy for us to see what’s wrong with someone else or what they need to do, but ...read more
