Here's one thing he says about them: "I believe every blessing, every… Continue reading Prayer Genealogies

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

I hope I'm not alone in this. Proverbs 3:5-6 can sometimes be one of those verses… Continue reading A Fresh Perspective
