He was perfect. He was holy. He was God in human form, divine mystery as that is, and He never s.. 더보기

1/23/14 - 1/29/14 When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting.

Todd White - It is not about YOU! 12/18/13(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dv2IbG_C2w) What does it mean to really surrender? It's about Him, not about you. Daniel in lion's den, his boys in the fire - they didn't get eaten or burned. But if it's about you, you'll get eaten and get burned. David = a man after God's heart.David cuts off piece of Saul's robe when they were in the cave. Who are you when no one's looking? It's faith.. 더보기
