The Discipline of Detail - The Glory of God
"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31 Introduction – The Scope of Glory Paul’s instruction to the Corinthians removes all ambiguity about the believer’s responsibility: “Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” It is a verse that pierces excuses and exposes the secret motive.

The Cost of Carrying Care
Philippians 4:6 “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." What is the weight of worry? Worry is often called a "silent killer" — not just spiritually, but physically, mentally, and relationally. The Apostle Paul, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, gives us a simple yet profound command: "Be careful for nothing." The word “careful” here carries the idea of being anxious, fu
