Today, I was shown something interesting. I was reading Matthew when I came across chapter 3: 10-12, John was babtizing in the Jordan when the Pharisees and Sadducees had come around. He told them this one important thing: And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree... Sign in to see full entry.

FREEDOM IN CHRIST GALATIANS 5-6

The arms of the large bulldozers would come down on the structure of the brick, wood and metal taking down each section one by one.

Who do you depend on? Yourself? Your parents? Friends? What do you depend on them for? food? Shelter? Personally, I depend on GOD. After all, he does provide for me. My job, food, shelter, even everyday situations. If I have an irate customer at work or just having a bad day. He raised me from the... Sign in to see full entry.
