    When the enemy fails in his attacks from the outside, he then begins to attack from within; and one of his favorite weapons is selfishness.

    Luxury: comfort, ease, plenty and blaming God when our expectations are not met. What do we do when the foundations of our expectations crumble

    “Luxury” ‘Seven Deadly Sins…and what to do about them’ series Good morning church. We’ve been looking at some deadly sins—not because they’re worse than other sins necessarily.

    God’s Favor is everywhere! Gods favor knows no boundaries, has no inhibitions, doesn’t look for qualifications, is not based on getting in return, only for opportunities to show itself!

    Psalm 30:4,5 NKJ Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. One definition of the word favor by Webster is: special ...read more

    Prayer must be foundational to action. When you have prayed, expect God to give you an answer. When He does, get to work on the things you can do and watch God work through you.
