     | 139 views

    A moment comes in every believer’s life when the weight of unanswered prayers, delayed promises, or unexpected storms tempts us to drag God into the courtroom of our emotions. But God is not the accused, and we are not the judge.

    Today I come to you with a Message the Lord laid in my heart last night; Faith is trusting God's character when His methods confuse us. Instead of putting God on trial, we step back from the witness stand and remember who He is. Let me ask you something this morning… Have you ever noticed how ...read more
