Memorable remark from a pastor and his loss-stricken heart
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I heard a testimony of a young pastor whose wife recently passed away. They weren’t even married much beyond their first year, I believe.

UNdaunted
By: Gabriela Yareliz I heard the testimony of this woman, who goes from small beginnings (like finding out she is adopted at 33 years old and feeling unwanted) to becoming a hero for saving young women from human trafficking and sexual slavery.

I was impressed by the verse where God asks Solomon what he desires. In verse 5, God says: At Gibeon the LordContinue reading “That which you have not asked for”

The persistent asking brings the petitioner into a more earnest attitude, and gives him an increased desire to receive the things for which he asks. Christ said to Martha at the grave ofContinue reading “Instructions on prayer”

In believing and obeying it you will receive grace sufficient for the duties and trials of today. Grace for tomorrow you do not need. You shouldContinue reading “Overcome for today”
