Life In The Son

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

Faith During Uncertain Times

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 13, 2021

Maybe the future of our country looks uncertain; or we are living under oppressive leadership. But when we recognize that God is still on the throne, we find the confidence necessary to carry on with boldness!
