A Cup of Faith
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.


Rooted: Are You a World Dweller or a Christ Dweller? Where Does Your Mind Live?
Christ-dweller or world-dweller? Where you choose to make your home determines your peace, purpose, and perspective in life's storms.
