To each is given the ...read more

    Though the suffering that the Christian endures in life is nothing by way of comparison to the glory that awaits him (8.18), God does not leave him without help. The Spirit helps him in his weakness. Even if the primary weakness Paul has in mind is that o

    O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

    When we see in the Transfiguration that Jesus is fully human and fully divine, listening to Him takes on great power.

    The Marks Of Great Faith

     | 12,271 views

    When one is told that their faith is great, it bears our study and meditation. What were the marks of this Canaanite ladies’ faith? There are at least four marks of great faith!

    The Marks of Great Faith Matthew 15:21-28 Jesus Christ did not exaggerate or mince words. He spoke the truth and the truth alone. When He applauds someone’s faith as "great," then it ought to make us take notice. Only twice, both with Gentiles, does Jesus Christ call someone’s faith "great." ...read more
