Introduction Another moral failure. Why isn’t the church more different from the world? All the same issues. 1 What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you?

4 Delight yourself in the Lord , and he will give you the desires of your heart. Does this verse instruct us how to get things from God? Is this some sort of secret way to ask God for things like a child does when sitting on the lap of Santa Claus. Viewing this verse as such misses the blessing of what…
