    In the life of the child of God, failure need never be final. You should never really be defeated by failure. The truth is, you can be the victor over life’s failure rather than its victims. Because as a believer in Jesus Christ, victory is your spiritual birth-right. Now we live in a day that we ...read more

A “crown of glory”. I like that. My problem is that my crown gets a little smaller every year. By the way, I tried to ...read more
