Nowadays, modern Christians deny the need to suffer. They teach wealth and prosperity.

So this is how the youth are being raised, given cars, phones, money, for what? For being a kid?

Our Lord says in the Gospel: “Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it."

The employer has no right to abuse the employee, nor does the employee have the right to be abusive with his employer.

Set apart means holy. When God calls us to be set apart, this was the beginning of His relationship with us from the very beginning. What does set apart mean? Division? Only from sin. Not from each other, how else could one reach a sinner?

my2cents: "The hand of the Lord was with them and a great number who believed turned to the Lord." There is something about a true believer that makes for a world of a difference.

Now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do.”
Saul was doing what he thought was right. But God shows us what is truly right. What Saul does next...changes everything. He Obeys! On that note let us go forth in our journey of faith!
