    Licking The Lips

    Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jan 26, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,822 views

    Now I believe that there are four bona-fide instances of lip-licking instances found in the Scriptures.

    LICKING THE LIPS The Bible has much to say about the lips. Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.” The more a man talks, the more mistakes he will make Wisdom is manifest in what we don’t say, rather than in what we say.. ...read more

    Jesus Feeds His Hungry People

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 15, 2021
     | 6,896 views

    When we go to God through Christ, we will never walk away hungry. When we draw near to God with our whole heart, we will never walk away, disappointed. Because for us, our faithful Saviour will always provide enough—more than enough.

    If you’ve recently prayed the Lord’s Prayer, then you made the request to your Father in heaven that He would give you this day “your daily bread.” I wonder if that’s a petition we make with a lot of sincerity. Are we really concerned about getting what we need to maintain our bodies? Is there ...read more

    What we do in one hour of corporate worship each week is to be a reflection of what we as individuals are doing the other 167 hours a week. In fact, God despises corporate worship if the worshipers have hearts that are not right with Him.
