In Whom Do You Trust?

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. Friends, the words trust in the Lord echo the command in Deuteronomy 6:5 To love God with all our beings.

You Can’t Make Sense Of Crazy

Check Those Attachments

Last Fall, I had an opportunity to mentor a young man, whom we will call Jordan for confidentiality purposes.

The Righteousness of God
