Feeling Down
We are prone to discouragement and self-pity. When times get tough we start feeling sorry for ourselves and wonder how could this be happening to us. This way of thinking is wrong!

God Brought Us To This

The Wrong Path
So much of what we call lack of faith would turn into real faith if we could only focus a little more on the Lord. Whether we just let ourselves get distracted or if we have been cleverly deceived, it does not matter, the cure is the same. More of Christ in our lives is... Continue Reading →
