3. Prayer will ACCOMPLISH more in the human heart than any natural, human effort.
4. The conversation you’re AVOIDING most may be what sets someone’s soul free.
“There are two kinds of sin: one is confessed, and this no one
should leave unforgiven; the other kind is defended, and this no
one can forgive, for it refuses either to be counted as sin or to
accept forgiveness.”

7. The failure of the servant wasn’t that he sought repayment, it was that he didn’t address the HYPOCRISY within himself.
