“Then the Lord's angel came to the village of Ophrah and sat under the oak tree that belonged to Joash, a man of the clan of Abiezer.

“There is nothing in us that allows us to claim that we are capable of doing this work. The capacity we have comes from God;” 2 Corinthians 3:5 This is certainly how I feel in this stage of my life. I have no ability to claim at all. I know without God I don’t... Continue Reading →
“I was made a servant of the gospel by God's special gift, which he gave me through the working of his power.” Ephesians 3:7 We all have a call of God in our life. He has called us all to be a servant of the gospel, to share the good news. As I read... Continue Reading →
