John 3:30 -He must increase, but I must decrease. NKJV John the Baptist’s words have become a mantra of humility in the Church.

What Right Do You Have?
Jonah 4:1,4 – “But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry.

See Jesus in You!
John 3:30 -He must increase, but I must decrease. NKJV see-jesus-in-you_.mp3 In my previous blog, I used this same scripture to share the context of how and why John the Baptist used this phrase.
