The People God Uses: How to Escape from the Traps and Snares set by the Devil in Organized Religion in order to become a Holy Instrument of God and a Real Servant of God used for His Glory

by Paul Lamb

There are many reasons to be interested in what God looks for in those He chooses to use for His glory. All of us should make sure that we follow the teachings of legitimate servants of God. If we follow blind guides, Jesus warns that we will fall into the pit with them. Those who want to serve God in any capacity will want to know what qualities God looks for. It is equally important to know what qualities will disqualify us.The qualities that make us useful and available for God also help us to grow as Christians. Those who desire to please and draw near to God are on the same path as those who want to be used by Him.This book is an investigation of God's word, church history, and modern Christianity.
