Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 30, 2022

God is searching for the faithful, as He wants to show Himself strong on their behalf. He is seeking those who realize that God is bigger than man’s limited wisdom; and He is seeking those who walk in obedience to His commands.

George Muller said, “Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible.

Apostasy Of The Christian Heart

Contributed by Stan Lobin on Oct 26, 2022
