Contributed by Alan Perkins on Feb 20, 2022

It was never God's intention that our resources should be sufficient. He wants to show us what he can do with the little we have.

Spiritual Warfare

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

We must band together as an army to fight the evil of Satan. Satan is roaming free in part because the church is so fractured that it cannot come together for this cause.
