What if?

Have you ever thought for just one moment about God’s mercies? What if God wasn’t a kind God? What if God wasn’t a good God? What if He was a maniacal despotic God? What if God relished mankind’s ineptitude in achieving success because of sin and unrighteousness? What if God wasn’t a God of love?

Trusting in God in difficult times

Life has its various challenges, and everyone has a battle to face at some point in their life.

Beware of life in the fast lane

God is still in control of our paths
