    Seeing Jesus should be on the top of our list of things we are looking forward to in heaven. And when we see Him, we will be amazed and we will be made just like Him.

Everyone stood except one man who was sleeping towards the back of the church. 2. The preacher told those standing that they could sit back down. 3. Then the preacher said: ...read more

    What's the difference between an appraisal and a judgment? If the devil can't destroy us by making us apathetic, he'll try to do it by making us judgmental.

    It’s hard to talk about judging others without sounding judgmental! “Judge not lest ye be judged” is one of the most quoted and misunderstood verses in the Bible. People who never open a Bible, people who are biblically illiterate, still know this statement, and readily use ...read more
