Success is on the same road as failure; success is just a little further down the road. –Jack Hyles, pastor and author Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth. Numbers 12:3 (HCSB) Have you ever met someone who always seemed to succeed with ease? When it […]
Just as water ever seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds you abased and empty, His glory and power flow in. –Andrew Murray, pastor and author Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
