    There are certain qualities that God looks for in those He places in His service. These qualities are illustrated for us in the account of David choosing stones from a brook with which to face the giant, Goliath.

    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.

    # 2 CLAIMING THE NAME There are unseen, evil forces that are constantly around us. And while they are unseen they are certainly not unreal. 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
