Everyone’s Faith is Tested…
•
It does not feel good when our faith is tested. It happens to everyone. As I lay in the dark too tired to get out of bed, I started my day in prayer. I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. I felt happy and safe as I contemplated how…

Run to God to Live
•
I was thinking about Judas this morning. Judah had a big problem with the sin of greed. In John 12:4-6, he complained about Jesus’ feet being anointed with expensive oil. The Scripture states that he complained out of greed. We all know he betrayed Jesus for 30 coins. Jesus knew.…
