"Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away."


Read this today and thought of what the Lord Jesus said about the scribes and the Pharasiees, that they...

It is very true how so many of our "leaders" do the same thing in the marketplace of the world. We are called to be servants. Are servants noticeable?

When the focus is on how good religion can make us look, it has lost all of its meaning and sweetness.
