Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 7, 2019

“When God closes a door, he opens a window, but it's up to you to find it. In the meantime, you can praise Him in the hallway.”

Dead People Can't Change? Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Jul 23, 2005

Many Believers are falling into one of Satan’s oldest tricks. They are allowing what is very clearly declared and known from Scripture to be held captive by what they, personally, don’t know.
