You Gone Have To Work Your Faith

Waiting Upon The Lord, Sowing Into Your "Suddenly"

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Feb 14, 2011

Finishing Well

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 15, 2016

Bad things happen even to Christians. Yet, we are not alone. God places us in the family of faith. And as we keep our eyes on Jesus, we can endure anything, for his sake, knowing our faith will be rewarded, if not in this life, then in the next.
