All is Well

, ,
Even when setbacks come and disappointments trouble us, God has a plan. We are required in everything to give thanks for this is God's will for us (1 Thessalonians 5:18). We are to give thanks which often requires a sacrifice as we may not feel…

God’s Powerful Word

,
"In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God." So says John 1:1 in the Good News Bible. The word is written but the word is also a person, Jesus Christ. Both are incredibly powerful. Recently, I…

At a Glance!
