Romans 6:11 – Be ALIVE TO GOD, alert to Him, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
We can know this great God. Because of what Jesus did for us on the cross, He has opened a way for us to able to experience God. In the process we can give ourselves to Him and know what it means to be His child and to discover that this great God can be OUR…
We must never limit God. He is able and will deliver you! Psalm 27:3 Yes, though a mighty army marches against me, my heart shall know no fear! I am confident that God will save me. If you had a mighty army marching against you, you would have reason to fear. But as we begin to…
This is a great promise. God knows our situations. He knows the kinds of fears you and I battle with. And He wants to be the one who takes care of us. Matthew 10:29 – 31 Not one sparrow (What do they cost? Two for a penny?) can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And…
