Our Ever Faithful God…
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8, NKJV).
Life happens, as they say. Plans made today could easily fall apart tomorrow. Someone once said that the only thing we can count on is change. That leaves us in a very precarious position, doesn’t it?
The Scriptures, however, paint a very different picture. We […]
Universal Longing for Resurrection
And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards,

“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked shall I return there.
The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away;
