“POINT OF BREAKTHROUGH Every theological road has two sides and two ditches—and both of them are bad. One such road is the power of positive confession. Instead of throwing out an entire truth, it is important for us to discover what it is not and what it is according to Scripture, and learn how to walk in the biblical balance in order to consistently keep our faith stirred up.”

“Therefore, Moses could stand in the glory. Face to face he met with God as a friend. Let your mind wrap around that for a second. “As a friend.” Wow! “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5 NASB).
