Matthew 15:11 – “It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.” (NLT). How are we defiled by the words of our mouths? I mean, after all, they are just words are they not? To understand this concept, we first need to…

The Power of Words – Part 1 of 3
Proverbs 18:21 – Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

The Need For Intimacy With God
1 Samuel 3 vs 7 – Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor was the word of the Lord yet revealed to him. This verse really got me thinking… In the prior verses of 1 Samuel 3, we read about God calling to Samuel in the night whilst he is in bed; but…
