    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 29, 2012
     | 11,704 views

    “We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at ...read more

    BOLDNESS, not arrogance, is blessed. God gives bold access to the throne of grace and welcomes bold prayers from humble Christians.

Heb. 4:16 This is another verse where I prefer the King James Bible language that says, “boldness.” Boldness is a biblical ...read more

    You’re simply a person in want, and you’re turning to ‘things’ because you have not understood how good ‘Father’ is!!! “Stop solidifying your identity based upon what you do, or what you did; Start identifying with who you are in Jesus, and you’ll change what you do.” P.H

    based on 49 ratings
     | 8,783 views

    Too many people are worried about things being done right that they neglect doing the best things. Few lay people think that they have what it takes to be used of God as those who are professionally trained ministers. However, God equips everyone uniquely
