    IT’s TRUE: We MUST keep the main thing the main thing. Walking humbly before God in contrition of heart over our sins and that of our nation ought to be one of these main things. Or else we get caught up in hyper grace, knowing truth but never being set free.

Biblically speaking, Humility has a lot to do with fasting and vise-versa. Fasting had to do with mourning. Jesus was asked: why don’t your disciples fast. He ...read more
