    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 3, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,947 views

Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one ...read more

     | 537 views

    There are so many factors that come into play when we make plans, but how often does the Sovereign will of God affect our plan making? In this passage, James challenges us to avoid hubris and embrace humility by submitting to God’s sovereignty in making plans.

    Mistakes along the way? In February of 1995, nearly 30 years ago, the Holy Spirit spoke to me in a clear way that has impacted the course of my life - and yet it has not been without mistakes and missteps.

    When a Christian prays, God is pledged to act. This is especially true when we pray for fellow Christians who have begun to stray.

If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for ...read more
