Of course, if someone in your house is having a heart attack, you would call the paramedics. If you have a fire, you would call the fire ...read more

    Perhaps the greatest test of faith you will face may be in loving people who are closest to you. Our God is able to overcome the most difficult of problem, person or predicament if we believe in His power!

    Everyone struggles with problems that seem overwhelming and tend to stress us out.

    The battle is spiritual -- it is against the devil and, his hordes of demons, the powers of darkness and sin. We will all be tested -- everyone of us marked with the sign of the cross and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord are ENEMIES of the devil.
