    Let’s take a look at a couple of Scriptures … Ecclesiastes 12:8 (NASB) “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “all is vanity!” Ecclesiastes 12:8 (HCSB) “Absolute futility,” says the Teacher. “Everything is futile.” Ecclesiastes ...read more

    In a world obsessed with status, self-promotion, and influence, Jesus calls us to the opposite mindset - releasing our grip on personal rights, comfort, and ambition, so that the glory of God may be revealed through our obedience.
