According to a recent 2022 poll by Arizona Christian University, only 37% of professing Christian pastors hold … Continue reading Test It

Know Thyself: A Biblical Perspective

Are You Weary? Don’t Give Up…
Friends, when hardships come (and they will), let’s not give up! But when I say, “not give up”…I’m not referring to us being stronger and more self-sufficient!

Sisters, we need to be in God’s Word. When we neglect the Bible, we tend to look at God through the lens of our emotions and circumstances. We create an inaccurate view of God which looks a lot like us, with desires like our own. We mold Him into what we are able to perceive … Continue reading Holy
