Spiritual Mourning
“So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God and God will come close to you.

Does Trust Really Matter?
“We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In Fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselvesContinue reading “Does Trust Really Matter?”
Certainty Before Surrender
“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” (Psalm 26:3 NLT) What is it about humans that demand certainty before we move forward with or for God? “Show me a sign!” seems to be the cry of our heart before we obey God.
