Christ followers, under the power of the Holy Spirit, will tell everyone about Him. (Acts 1:8)
As the school year comes to a close, there are many “end of the year” activities. One that juniors and seniors always look forward to is their Junior/Senior prom. For twenty-nine ladies in the Albany, Kentucky area, prom was made a little sweeter this year (not to mention less expensive on the parents), thanks... Continue Reading →
God is a conquering God. Last month I explored God’s conquest in the OT by looking at Joshua’s leadership among the people of Israel and their campaign to take the land of promise.
