We can be concerned about the economy – especially if we are being directly affected by the recession. One’s health is also a matter of concern to many people. This ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,491 views

    To those who are lost and living under slavery to the power and curse of Sin, the Word is saying “Come make peace with God.” To those who do have salvation through accepting Jesus, God is saying “learn what you have been restored with and live by it.”

And there is still a lot for us yet to learn and ...read more
