    There is the absolute necessity that the life must be free from known sin, that cankerous disease that creeps in and makes God’s love “less abiding” because our knowledge and spirits are clouded, and we are not abiding in His love.

    The love we have and show for one another is how we show the world that we are the disciples of Christ. This lesson is going to focus primarily on how we are to demonstrate our love for one another.

    Love One Another In the King James Translation, the term "one another" occurs 41 times. And most, not all, of these phrases are in the context of how Christians are to treat each other. And of the "one another" phrases which do not fall into that category, many of those fall into the "How ...read more

    When it comes to the things of this world, God is not interested in how successful we are. Success can be measured. When it comes to the things of this world, God wants nothing less than complete, total and unquestioned victory for us.

    I don’t have any notes tonight because I’m going to read a little bit. There are many in the Body of Christ who, when they pray and nothing happens, they say to themselves “I just want to see a little success.
