Let Your Light Shine

Alexander MacLaren once wrote: ‘We may have as much of God as we choose. Jesus puts the key to the treasure-chamber into our hand and tells us to take all that we want.

Preaching From Philippians #6

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

The Lord Himself dealt with this deception in Matthew 7:22-23, we read, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy ...read more
