The Bible Tells Me So!
If a train was barreling toward your car while it was stuck on train tracks, would you want me to pull you from the stuck car or helplessly try and push your car off the tracks? If your house was burning with flames breaking through the windows and roof, would you have me save you…

Are the headlines troubling or promise affirming?
“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

Protection or Rejection
“If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on…
