Are you caught in the trap of performing for God to try to please Him? Good news is that you already are in Jesus, but getting caught in that trap is no fun. What happens when you get "thumped."Hear the "stuffed peppers" story and the "To Me Be The Glory" song. Laughter will abound!This is a recording from the 7th Annual Kent Henry Ministries Worship Conference in a general session held Thursday, July 13, 1995! Yes, I transferred it from cassette tape to the computer. It was THAT good!
