    Its not WHAT I believe in, it is WHO I place my faith in. WHO I place my faith in is stronger, for Jesus is able to overcome what I am not able to overcome.

What we believe molds us into who we are; What we believe colors our view of the world around us; What we believe motivates us to stand up for something or stand up against something. What we believe in may ...read more
