Winston Churchill was once quoted as saying, “If you’re going through hell, keep going” and having been deeply impacted by WWII, he knew what he was talking about. We each will experience our own “hell” from time to time, and when we do, it’s time to press into God and to lean on Him for…
With Christ as our Lord and the Holy Spirit living in us and with the promise of eternal life in heaven, our trials and tribulations do not crush us, but rather we rest in the knowledge that He lives and that we also live because of Him. The enemy is out to devour us so…
Proverbs 16:9 says that “We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.” The “I can do it on my own” mentality will always lead to problems we could avoid if we trusted and obeyed Jesus and truly made Him Lord of our lives. If you want to have confidence in anything, we…
