An Audience Of One Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 1, 2023

This passage of Scripture teaches us that when we pray to the Lord, and even give monetarily, that it is to be done entirely for Him and not as a public display for others. Every act of worship is to be seen only by an audience of One.

Allow me to share some of the lyrics of this song: “I come on my knees, to lay down before You; bringing all that I am, longing only to know You. Seeking Your face, and not ...read more
