     | 3,138 views

    Caleb requested for the hill country that seemed tough to conquer. The reason was because Caleb, though he was eighty five years old, was one who welcomed challenges, believed he could overcome them and had no fear whatsoever.

    For the past few weeks we have been studying the life of this man named Caleb. In continuation we will meditate today on Joshua 14:12, “So now give me this hill country of which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities. It may be ...read more

    What does stretch mean to me? It means busting loose and busting out. It means new territory. It means new opportunities. It means going beyond. It means the devil made a big mistake, he didn’t kill me when he had the chance. It means fresh fire.

     | 2,431 views

    Although Jesus said the words, "Do not judge..." (Matthew 7:1), we have to read on to see what Jesus is really teaching about judging and not judging others.
