    I was reading in John 14. Jesus told his disciples that he was going to leave them and that they could not go with him now, but they would follow later. He told them not to be afraid, though, because he was going to prepare a place for them in his Father’s house, and that one day he would come...

    Give Me Courage, Lord

    I believe that one of Satan’s greatest weapons against us is his lies and deceptions. And I am speaking here of those of us who have surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ to do his will, who have died to sin, and who are living to God. Through the use of lies and deceptions, Satan’s objective is...

    Helping my older parents understand why I want the job that I do.
