    based on 17 ratings
     | 3,771 views

    The reason submission is so important for a wife is because of this key: The wife who willingly submits to her husband’s leadership glorifies God.

    “Sweet Surrender” Let me sum up the perfect picture for marriage again: God wants each marriage to be a portrait of His love for His glory! Romans 11:36 “For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be all the glory forever.” Well, I knew today’s sermon was going to the hardest ...read more

    If you could obtain it on your own, then that would make it all about you and what you were capable of wouldn’t’ it? That’s the part that’s hard to figure, its not about you, its about what’s been done for you and made available to yo

    "Amazing" Doesn’t Begin To Describe Gods Grace! For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

    We must work hard to tell others about God then we will reap our reward in Heaven.

    The Harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. This is a powerful piece of scripture that just seemed to jump out of the page at us. To me it speaks volumes. To me it says there is a lot of work to be done but not many of us wanting to do it. When I was a young lad on our family farm the ...read more
