2 Corinthians 10:17-18 “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. What we boast in is actually what we are slaves to. Whatever it is that we boast in as our success, what we … Continue reading →

Philippians 4:11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

We need not sow thistles and brambles; they come up naturally enough, because they are indigenous to earth: and so, we need not teach men to complain; they complain fast enough without any education.

Not only is it done without understanding but without ever having studying a single bible chapter. So are they questioning me, challenging … Continue reading →
