In this life there are two things we suffer for: our sins and the Name of Christ. Peter instructs us to make sure we are not suffering as a murderer, thief or evil doer, but instead as we suffer for Christ let us glorify Him. Often times we think suffering is bad and […]
When fear creeps in, it simply means we’ve forgotten who we serve, who we are, and what what He has done. We serve the God of all creation who by the power of His word spoke all into being with its layers of complexity, design and laws of nature to govern. Several times He […]
