Without A Vision

Contributed by Curtis Kittrell on Sep 3, 2003

It is true that sinners do need to catch a revelation of God. But this verse was not written to sinners; rather, it was written to God’s people.

WITHOUT A VISION Scripture: Proverbs 29:18 INTRODUCTION This is an old revival theme. I have heard numerous sermons from this text; however, I believe the wrong emphasis is often placed on the message.

The youngest son who is chosen and anointed by God to lead his people. The young lad who defeats the battle seasoned giant Goliath. ...read more
