Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. (Proverbs 3:7 NIV) I have been wise in my eyes for a while now but I’m not sure how to manage my thinking that I’m greater. How does one bring themselves to realise their need for God? It is a fine …

[ These are broad strokes and so if the hat does not fit, that’s fine. If it does, then you really need to work these out. ] While there is a strong emphasis on quiet time, in the sense that no church would ever deny its importance, in the main, this part of a Christian’s …
