Seeing And Hearing Again

Contributed by Wayne Cordeiro on May 16, 2013

The Bible says our hearts, like that of the Pharisees, can get calloused against God. It is not intentional, but our hearts get dull. We have to recondition them and reopen our eyes to see Him afresh.

Eyes to See The Pharisees were trained and schooled to recognize God, to hear His voice and to know what God was saying. They looked for something that was so obviously close, but never saw Him. When He actually came on that Christmas, they did not even recognize Him. In fact, even when He spoke, ...read more

Evangelizing The Cities Series

The Perception Of God’s Plan - Foolishness Of God

Contributed by Rodney Kelley on Sep 14, 2010
