I’m going to let you down sometimes … disappoint you .. if I haven’t already. The one promise that I will always ...read more

He can faithfully cultivate the ground, keeping the field free of weeds ...read more

Add To Your Faith

Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jun 19, 2020

When we doubt our faith, we lose confidence in things we cannot see. We cannot see the air we breathe, but we believe it keeps us alive. Walk the narrow path that leads to life, “for we live by faith, not by sight” (1 Corinthians 5:7, NIV).

For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever” (2 Corinthians 4:18, NLT). I have it on very ...read more
