     | 134 views

    Courage is faith refusing to yield to fear—God’s Spirit empowering us with power, love, and soundness in every crisis.

    I. When Fear Feels Bigger than Faith If you lose your money, you’ve lost a lot. If you lose your reputation, you’ve lost more. But if you lose your courage—you’ve lost everything. Fear has a thousand disguises: anxiety, hesitation, exhaustion, even polite excuses. It doesn’t always scream; ...read more

    Resurrection Deception

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Jan 9, 2015

Christendom is over flowing with those who are simple enough to buy almost anything the snake-oil-doctrine purveyors are ...read more
