I sense, that often our worship and our prayers are more directed by what we need rather than by who God is. We are to worship God and not what God has done for us. We ought to love, serve and worship God whether He has done anything for us or...[ abbreviated | read entire ]
Romans 1:21 "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." I think we often fall short in our preaching of the law when our...[ abbreviated | read entire ]

Job 42:6- Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. True repentance is found in an abhorrence of self. We, by nature, are so contrary to God that it ought to sicken us. How can I be so adverse to a being, such as God, that is so...[ abbreviated | read entire ]
I fear that many who go out and evangelize are only dealing with sin in a superficial way and I am not talking about those who are preaching easy-believism. I am addressing those who have been taught to use the law for the conviction of sin, but i...[ abbreviated | read entire ]
