Proverbs 15:3 has been on my mind for a few weeks… “The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.” (NIV) “God doesn’t miss a thing – he’s alert to good and evil alike.” (MSG) God doesn’t miss a thing; His eyes are everywhere. He is omnipresent … Continue reading God Doesn’t Miss A Thing
Life
Saved By Grace
“It wasn’t so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn’t know the first thing about living, tell you how to live. You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience. We all did it, all of us doing what we felt … Continue reading Saved By Grace

Honestly, many of mine are similar to the ones I had last year. But it's a great time to … Continue reading Expectant Prayer
A Fresh Start
