Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7 There are four points here, and, I believe, they are connected. Humble Yourselves Peter (and the rest of the New Testament) has ...read more

“i Am The Greatest” Mark 9:33-37
