Prisoner Of The Winds?

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 14, 2017

Jephthah had a truly tragic beginning to his life. Hated, despised, driven out. Despite all odds he kept his walk with God, trained for future victory, and was raised by God to be Judge over all Israel. We aren't at the mercy of circumstances!

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Mar 23, 2018

Don't Put Your Investments In Bags With Holes

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Feb 17, 2021
