    Just how does God expect us Christians to live in such a dark and evil time that we live? Paul says in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Everything in prayer….I believe thankfulness motivates prayer and prayer in turn motivates than

    Just remember who the star of the show is…..it’s You Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and ...read more

    Majesty Of God

    Contributed by Raymond Petzholt on Jun 3, 2005
    based on 10 ratings
     | 21,447 views

    An understanding of the “Majesty” of God will surely motivate us to live an upright and godly life in this present wicked generation.

    MAJESTY OF GOD (Daniel 5:18-19, Psalm 21:5) What do we mean when we talk about the “Majesty” of God? Only 30 verses in the Bible (KJV) mention the word so it is easy to let the Bible itself explain to us what God’s Majesty really is. As we read Daniel 5:18-19 we are struck by the scriptural ...read more

    Last week, we discussed the topic of "seeking God." We saw that the pursuit of God is a lifelong quest. It’s not merely a phase in our spiritual growth, nor is it an optional activity. Rather, it’s fundamental to our lives as Christians, from beginning to end. You could even say that continuing to ...read more
