These two men call for your allegiance, one out of the history books, one by His ever-living Spirit. Their sayings and their lives are in total contradiction to one another. If one ...read more

When God Has His Hand On You

Contributed by Herman E. Wesley Iii on Nov 29, 2008

It is difficult, from time to time, to understand that as Christians we will find ourselves in some “interesting” storms.  What is even more important is to understand that the storms that come in our lives are allowed by the permissive decree of God.
