We need help. Trying to do this life alone is setting ourselves up for failure.
Exodus 18
13 The next day Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning till evening.  14 When Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this that you [...]

The power of the word of God – you need to watch this.

THIS IS AWESOME! Please watch it! It is so extraordinarily powerful to listen to someone speak the word of God from memory (when they’ve made it their own). Actually, the first time I listened to this I didn’t realize that John Piper was actually speaking scripture from memory.
