Bearing Burdens

Galatians 6:2 – Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Is thy cruse of comfort wasting? Rise and share it with another, And through all the years of famine, It shall serve thee and thy brother. Is thy burden hard and heavy? Do thy steps drag heavily? Help to bear…

The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Luke 11:34 You can’t do things part way with God. Lukewarm is worse than cold to God. You need…
