What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. – Psalm 56:3 Are you afraid? Do you doubt and worry? Are you troubled about things you cannot control? If so, dear one, stir up the gift of faith that is within you. Understandably we are concerned about the problems of life. We should be […]

Take Heed – Luke 11:35
Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. – Luke 11:35 We live in a culture that shades things in gray.
