I am who I am. Exodus 3:14 Read Exodus 3:1-14. Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” “Do…

Two Choices
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Humility is a part of Christian unity because it is a quality of Jesus’ character. The Bible’s view point of humanity and spiritual salvation places a high value to humility. Humble means to be conscious of our weaknesses and inadequacies. To give quick credit to God and others for what they have…
