King David of Israel knew fear. He was hunted and pursued, sometimes by those close to him. His spiritual insight led him to realize he did not need to fear people when they attack (Psa. 56:2-4). He asks, “What can mere man do to me?” (56:5). But he knew that God was on his side (vs...
Be sure and join us sunday mornings for music, updates, and time in scripture together until it is time to meet together again. Our prayers for all.
Stats about Evangelicalism indicate we have some thinking to do...
We have all been horrified at recent mass shootings, and stunned that in 2019 some of them are racially motivated. There are days when the news makes me feel like we are once again in the 1960s and that little progress has been made. I recently read an article in which an author suggested...
