Even The Best Offer Excuses

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Apr 30, 2020

We have studied the "Veneer of Excuses." Not let us consider that some of God's best students were experts at making the offering of excuses. We must overcome the weakness of excuses. We need to be honest, admit, confess and repent. Being good at excuses will hinder real growth.

Iron, That Floats—Even Swims. 2 Kings 6:1-7NLT Whenever I counsel people who are wrestling with the will of God. I remind them of a simple truth: “God wants you to get where God wants you to go, more than you want to get where God wants you to go.” I’ll read it once more—it should relieve you from ...read more

The Epiphany Of The Lord

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 2, 2023

We have to expect to have epiphanies.
