I told you: It is not true that God will not put more on you, or allow you to bring more on yourself, than you can handle. I am sure there were some who did not like ...read more

    It stood like a lonely sentinel guarding an indefensible post. There were no hills to hide it, no great height to offer any fortified advantage. Yet it held the awesome responsibility of being the gateway to Pergamum, the capital of the province. Protected by only a small garrison of Macedonian ...read more

    Big Faith In Little Things

     | 6,893 views

    It's often easier for Christians to have faith in the big, amazing things God does than it is to have faith that he is acting in small ways in our lives every day.
