Daily Nugget: “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” I John 4:1 Too many Christians are missing discernment in determining what is of God and what is not.

John 16
Daily Nugget: It was very important that after Jesus died He should leave this earth. It was important so that Jesus would send (vs. 7) the omnipresent Comforter to do many marvelous things.
