Steadfast, Immovable, Always Abounding

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58 When God calls us to something, He assures us it won't be in vain. He does not say it will be easy, but encourages us to be immovable,... Continue Reading →

Perfect Gift or the Pretty Gift?
