    Measured Against The Plumb Line

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 21, 2021
     | 3,952 views

    We are tested every day by the Word of God. Are we continuing upright in the ways of the Lord? Are we inclined toward sin, or are we striving to be true to the Lord? The Word of God tests us, every time that we read it, every time we hear it.

He basically said this (as I'm paraphrasing here), “Occasionally in Scripture we come across a truly epochal event that just changes everything.” — Richard D. Phillips I love that word: ...read more

And finally, 3) How do we position ourselves to better hear the voice of God? In order to answer these questions, we’re going to look at Samuel ...read more

    Time for the ‘Body of Christ’ to wake up from the slumber and get going by restoring the shattered walls and foundations of the Church; being always alert of the enemy attacks, positioning ourselves firmly in God’s Word and building a lifestyle of prayer.
