    Many Christians level off at some point in their walk with God. I believe we must always be striving to be more like our Lord. Therefore, we must move up! The scripture calls it going from "glory to glory" I call it mving up from "level to level."

Pastor Jamie Wright * Maranatha Fellowship Church * 07-20-03 2 Corinthians 3:18 “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” Numbers 13:30 “And Caleb ...read more
