I don’t know if you realized this but every song we sang this morning contained the word “adore” or “adoration”. “Father, I adore You … Jesus, I adore You … Spirit, I adore You…” “Holy, holy, holy! All the ...read more

     | 9,292 views

    The fact is that any of us have the potential within us to become fornicators, liars, drunkards, adulterers, or even murders and we could become guilty of ever evil work of the flesh; except for the Grace (help) of God! Where does your help come from?

    Jesus taught about dealing with difficult people. He stressed how we should not run away from our problems, or fight back against opposition, but that we should persist with people, so we can one day win them to faith in Christ.

This is a world full of people, and if we are going to succeed in life, or be effective at sharing the gospel, we must learn how to deal with people, especially those who are difficult; and we must learn to love them no matter how they treat ...read more
