holding on too tight.
Anything we hold too tightly, we will loose. Our knee jerk reaction;to when the storms come is to take control over the situation. It’s an emotional response and we all want to control. We want to live life with assurance everything is going to be okay and the things that…

the gap.
The question of the ages: If the gospel is supernatural, then why doesn’t it seem to make more of a difference in the lives of so many who claim to believe it? That is a great question! Skeptics ask it and fellow brothers and sisters ask it. I believe it…

Redemption is life changing
