The uncertainty of our world today has brought tremendous fear to people. Fear about their health, economy, family issues, education, and right to worship. We do not need to fear. For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind (2 Tim...

God heals

“When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the Lord will take care of me.” Psalm 27:10 A persons’ childhood does not define the outcome of their life. Society would like you to believe otherwise. Many have had an upbringing where their parents have rejected, abandoned, or not shown...

Never mind

I woke up with a thought, are we mindful of our Lord? “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans...
