    We have heard the expression, "Let go and let God". Let your problems go and let God deal with them. Let go of your worries and let God take care of that. Let go of your past and let God give you a future. And yet we have forgotten that proven philosophy.

Let go of your past and let God give you a future. All of that is as true as the Holy Scriptures themselves. And yet ...read more

    We need to remember where we came from so we don’t go back again
