A look at how crucial it is to recognize that God has put a few people around that we are responsible to pray for and witness to.

Psalm 5 - Get The Inside Right First Series

Contributed by Rob De Jongh on Mar 15, 2021

In Psalm 5, David says this: "For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue." (Psa 5:9) Notice here that there are people who can flatter you and seem great on the outside, but ...read more

Put God's Fear First

Contributed by Paul Robinson on May 17, 2023
