I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” GENESIS 12:2-3 Some things in the Christian… Continue reading Faith Without Limits
God Delights in Those Who Fear Him – Ps. 147:10-11
We seem to be most impressed with the strong and powerful, the talented, and the physically beautiful. They receive more attention and have more influence than other people do. But what we find attractive and appealing in people is not the same as what God is looking for. God delights in those who fear him… Continue reading God Delights in Those Who Fear Him – Ps. 147:10-11
