    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,811 views

    Keeping our focus on God is quite difficult for some, especially with the great amount of distractions found in today's fast paced world. Yet, Paul calls us to keep our devotion and single mindeness.

    THE WORDS OF THE RIGHTEOUS VALUED WORDS PROVERBS 10: 31-32 Words spring from the heart and are then formed by the mind. If the heart is pure, righteous speech should flow out of it. If the heart is wicked it also flows from the mouth. Yet even if the heart is pure it is not a given that ...read more
