Romans 6:11 – Be ALIVE TO GOD, alert to Him, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
I WILL NOT FEAR WHAT OTHERS FEAR I have found that fear can spread like a wildfire. It takes just one person to experience something and fear can penetrate entire communities. We can get to the point where we fear whatever is going around. Fear is contagious. Others instill their fears in us and we…
Fear and worry do not help us. They only make life more difficult and they rob us of a full life. Luke 12: 25 – 26 And besides, what’s the use of worrying? What good does it do? Will it add a single day to your life? Of course not! And if worry can’t even…
