INIQUITY = Deciding for myself what is right, doing this “right” in my own strength and moaning and groaning about how hard it is to do “good” so that we get extra credit from others. In the middle of your brain is a device known as the limbic system which God intends to fill you […]
The Lord has helped me not to want anyone to agree with me. As Paul says “Who is Paul?who is Appollos? For that matter who is Verle? It is the Lord that counts, I hope that they discern God’s thought and AGREE WITH HIM. I have had the interesting experience of debating with someone and […]
