The Trust Meter
When I got married, I had already known my husband for about 3 years. I thought my trust-meter was already pretty high. I had no reason not to trust Him – he was faithful and honest. But now, looking back over 15 years of marriage, I can see that, if I am at 100% now,…

Stockpile Faith
What crazy times we are living in. I am not afraid. God will take care of us. We are still the church. Even though for a short while we might be unable to meet as we would like to. I was reflecting on the words of Jesus this morning in Luke 12 and I want…
