Focus On God

Every Christian, as we draw closer to God, will be challenged by the devil. We begin to feel our faith weakening and hope fading. In these times, we need to focus on God and the promises He holds for us.

We owe for the fridge. • A bumper sticker reads, “We owe, we owe, so off to work we go.” • We’ve got to work because we’ve so much to pay up. Along with the ...read more

The people of Israel had forgotten God and refused to listen for his voice. They were locked into their old way of doing things. We are the same. Sometimes ...read more
