    David said in Psalms 103:14 that God knows our frame, that we are created from the dust of the earth that is corrupted by sin. How often does that frame show as we go about our daily lives? So many times I just want to stop someone in their tracks when

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,043 views

    How should we deal with or respond to rejection? It’s a very good question especially when it comes to the Church.

    The now infamous Lance Armstrong once said, “A boo is a lot louder than a cheer.” And he actually hit the nail on the head, because no one wants to be rejected. It can make you come to the conclusion Oprah Winfrey came to when she said, “I don’t want anyone who doesn’t want me” because no one ...read more
