     | 3,473 views

    God wants us to follow Abram’s example of living by faith, holding loosely to the things of this world, the things that appear to give comfort and security and to act on what God promises even when our external circumstances appear to indicate that it’s n

    God’s promise seems to have failed, but Moses is called to remind his people that he is God and he will save them and give them the land he promised to Abraham. God can be trusted.

    Good leadership is more than just giftedness. It also involves faithfulness to God, a right focus and direction for God’s people.

    By Roy Hamer Have you ever watched a Horror movie? You know, I’m not big on horror movies, in fact most movies I get a little bored.
