    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,471 views

    If you are walking at a distance from the Lord, then the tugging on you is worldly based The world tugs on the carnal Christian. They who walk closely with God, welcome God’s tugging. The message looks at heaven's tug to be home with the Lord. We also look at death.

One below fills the bucket, and when the tug is felt then the one above pulls up the ...read more

    As gardeners grow beauty, so also we must grow peace: speak truth without prejudice; pass judgments but do something to help the troubled grow; pay attention to our own hearts; and settle for nothing less than Christ as the full truth.

The landscaping had deteriorated, and so a gardening team was formed to take care of it. My wife volunteered; I got volunteered. ...read more

     | 5,499 views

    the reason for why we need to build up God’s house from the inside as a house of grace is because if were not living in God’s growing, transforming, liberating, sustaining, restoring, and amazing grace, and then extending the same grace to others, then we’re living outside the will and way of God.
