Defy Explanation
Like 1:35 says “The Holy Spirit Will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.”.

Read MoreMaintaining Your Distance
Maintaining Your Distance is today’s reading from THE QUIET PLACE by Nancy DeMoss. She starts out by saying that none of us are immune from sexual sin. As Christians we need to pursue purity of thought and practice. Sexual purity mirrors the character of God. To be faithful, loving, and a covenant-keeper. Every aspect of…

Love That Restores is today’s reading in THE QUIET PLACE by Nancy DeMoss.

Read MoreGod is in Control
Today’s subject is GOD IS IN CONTROL by Nancy DeMoss in The Quiet Place. Proverbs 21:1 says “The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORDS.

Read MoreFree from Sin
Today I read Romans 6:22 “But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sactification and it’s end eternal life.”. The thing that is jumping out at me today is “being set free from sin.” We don’t have to sin. When there…
