Listen For God’s Answer In Dark...

Listen For God’s Answer In Dark Times

We live in a world of darkness, and sometimes even Christians find it staring them in the face. In Micah 7:7-8, Israel had fallen into a dark place, but finally came to the realization that if they would turn to God He would hear them, and their confession and comfort is found in verse 8, […]

Claim God’s Promises

Claim God’s Promises

The Bible says, “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.” (2 Corinthians 1:20). Yes means yes, and Amen in the New Testament means firm or trustworthy, as when we so often say, “Surely!” or, “So be it!” Brother Peter tells us […]
