We can go from being full of confidence to having zero confidence in one second flat. We humans are amazingly fickle. Our faith is tested. The 14th chapter of Mark is a clear picture of this. Even Jesus, when He was living life in the flesh, experienced this dichotomy. Jesus is God and He knew that He came to die for our sins, yet when the time ... Continue Reading »

Today’s Scriptures: Isaiah 66:2 BSB- “Has not My hand made all these things?

I am always surprised when I come across the actual ... Continue Reading »

Today’s Scripture: Acts 17:11, NLT- “And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message.
