    Worry Not!

    Contributed by Dennis King on Jun 28, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,972 views

    Worrying is something many people do every day. It doesn't matter if you are young or old, man or woman, black or white or of any other race, we all worry about something from time to time, if not daily. Growing older we fend off some worries, but frequently those are replaced with new troubles.

    Who would have blamed David if he had taken his sword and plunged it in the back of Saul for all that Saul had done to him? David drew his sword, but sliced off a portion of Saul’s robe. He felt guilty. His conscience pricked him. How is your conscience?

    Expectation Series

    Contributed by Mac Hammond on Sep 9, 2011

    It’s important we understand the role that our expectation has as it relates to becoming content in whatsoever state we’re in, gracefully waiting until the Lord’s Word is performed in our lives.

    A. This is the fifth installment of our ongoing series entitled “Graceful Waiting.” We’ve been talking about how the unfolding will and blessing of God doesn’t happen instantaneously; it takes place through a process of time, and therefore, we must learn how to be content while we wait on the Lord. ...read more

    Many Christians level off at some point in their walk with God. I believe we must always be striving to be more like our Lord. Therefore, we must move up! The scripture calls it going from "glory to glory" I call it mving up from "level to level."
