“Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.” - Ecclesiastes 11:4 Over the last couple of days, we have talked about the disease of perfectionism.

God Wants Your Commitment
by No Limits on September 18th, 2021
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” – Romans 3:23 You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be committed.

by Ministry Support on November 30th, 2020
All things work together for the good of them that love God and are called according to His promise. – Romans 8:28 One of the most amazing, mind-blowing attributes of God is that He can use both the good and bad in our lives to accomplish His will.

So What If You’re Not Perfect?
by Ministry Support on June 24th, 2020
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10) In her book, The Gifts ... Read More
