The Hunger For Freedom
Living a life that is free to respond to the call of God doesn’t happen by accident.
My Spirit Prays
What a wonderful communion, that between my spirit & the Spirit of God! That in utterances unspeakable I can share with God & find help, peace, & strength.

That’s Not Your Job
When talking with some people, it doesn’t matter what you say or how hard you try to convince they won’t believe you. The fact is, some people wouldn’t even believe if Jesus walked straight up to them in the street. Just remember when you’re sharing your faith, it’s not your job to get them saved,ContinueContinue reading “That’s Not Your Job”
You’re Never Alone
Some people know about Jesus, they know about his death on the cross, but they’re still carrying their sins. Put them down. God has made a way for you to be free of all you’ve ever done wrong. Stop thinking you can do it on your own, your way isn’t working. When you stop toContinueContinue reading “You’re Never Alone”
