As a child I never tired of hearing of the magnificent victory that God wrought with one little shepherd boy, who was surrendered totally to God. When hearing ...read more

    Many Christians live unhappy, fruitless, worried and negative lives. But God’s plan is exactly opposite, He wants His children not just to achieve victory, but LIVE in it! Scripture provides 3 keys to winning in life.

The devil, our own flesh and the world, are constantly trying to steal away any contentment there is. There's an orchestrated, a 6000 year-old conspiracy by ...read more
