We have all experienced it. The pace of life has increased the world over. We get so caught up in doing this and running there. Our frenzied pace is no accident. The enemy of our Lord has carefully orchestrated it. We have been warned through the Bible and countless messengers from God. Yet, every day,... Continue Reading →
Keeping Our Hearts, Or Giving Them to God

Love As Christ Loved
