Alive And Kicking For God (Living Hope)

Contributed by Cesar Datuin on Apr 19, 2022

What does it mean to be alive and kicking? It means that we are healthy and active. So, if we say that we are “alive and kicking” for God it means that we are healthy, active and strong our walk for God! It is because we have a kind of hope that keeps us alive – it is because of our “living hope”.

Now Is The Time Series

Contributed by Lonnie Erwin on Jan 2, 2021
