to grow, or you would just be like last night's cornbread--stale
and dry with little or no usefulness. for our usefulness
comes to light as we grow into the fulness of Christ. He who
does not grow will be stale ...

our ways even when God tewlls us that he has a plan for us.
Hence many just give up and decide to ...

fist. But no matter how much he had, he never seemed to have
enough and was a very miserable man.
One day he told his servant, "I want you to go out and
scour the land, from one horizon to the other, and find ...

for recording things, someone was always home.
We only had a living room where we would congregate, unless

Good work is evaluated on the basis of how much of God's love is found in it 3/9/2006
Good work is evaluated on the basis of how much of God's
love is found in it. Therefore every Christian should always
remember that the value of his good works is not based on
their number and excellence, but on the love of God which
prompts him to do these things.

I couldn't do over here because they didn't pay
anything near what I was making before, like medical and
childcare. So at much as I love them I couldn't make
