In CH 4 James gives clear advice on ...read more

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 3, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 6,656 views

    It is good to have goals, but goals will disappoint us if we leave God out of them. There is no point in making plans as though God did not exist, because the future is in His hands. That man walks most safely who has the least confidence in himself.
