I was caught, caught alive to be dead. Caught in the very act of adultery and dragged Dragged in to the presence of Jesus Dragged while Jesus was teaching to a crowd I do not know what the lesson was about May be it was about Living Waters I was thirsty I stared at the sand, as my accusers were staring at Jesus Jesus looked up One shouted, she was caught in the very act of sin Law says we should stone her to death What do you say we should do?

Legal and Successful

God had a plan for Abraham and Sarah. It was a plan that would not only change them but the entire human community for ever. As God seemed to work very slowly, they got impatient.

It is often our ‘legal and successful’ plan that stands in complete opposition of God’s ‘best and perfect’ plan. What ‘legal and successful’ plan of yours is hindering God’s great plan for you?
