GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER

THE ROYAL FAMILY

As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king. Judges 8:8 (NIV)       It was a magnificent tribute to the royal bearing of this illustrious family.

Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div "By faith, he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:" (Hebrews 11:9).

THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH

Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div " Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draws back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him." (Hebrews 10:38). Seemings and feelings are often substituted for faith.
