Grace is defined as God's unmerited favor. That is, grace is God doing good for us that we do not deserve. It's been a rough few days here at the office. I had unintentionally let some things slide through the cracks in some of my projects and now my mistakes are all being discovered all... Continue Reading →
Beloved readers, I have an assignment for you. Research your Bible and see how many different names for Satan you can find. Remember, greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4), so don't think of this assignment as an open door to the devil. In fact,... Continue Reading →
