    Commitment … The Missing Ingredient

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 5, 2022
     | 4,365 views

    From time to time, most of us, have begun to eat something that was set before us, and before we took our first bite, not the second or third, we noticed something was missing, and we said, “Someone forgot to add the salt!”

It’s at this place that many believers come to a screeching halt. They look at themselves ...read more

Godly Ambition Mark 10:32-45 Ambition We often talk about people going through “phases.” That’s especially true for those who are growing through adolescence or some other dynamic season of life. “Oh, don’t worry about it,” we tell ourselves, “it’s just a phase.” Grown adults ...read more
