Beyond a Mere Christianity ~ Chapter 20 R & R, an abbreviation for “rest and relaxation," is the end to which most spend their lives. For those devoted to Christ – desiring the most from our relationship with Him in this life and for eternity – R & R means...
What is Jesus Doing in Your Life?
(Let me tell you!) This is but a synopsis (though not a short post) of what I know of His presence and power in others and my own life. It is worth meditation on God's Word to confirm our faith in what the Lord is doing in our lives. (With this post, I will be...
Abiding in Light and Truth
