    Do we spend too much time trying to resurrect what God has already taken from us? The children of Israel face the tough decision to go forth! What about you?

    ARE YOU WILLING TO GO FORTH? JOSHUA 1: 1-5. ONE OF THE MATCHLESS POINTS OF GENIUS AND BEAUTY OF THE BIBLE IS FOUND IN ITS CAPACITY TO BE PROFOUNDLY SIMPLE. THIS IS TO SAY, OFTEN THE BIBLE SPEAKS IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE AND IN A SIMPLE WAY TO MANY OF THE COMPLEX AND ...read more

     | 12,329 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
