Growing up in the church, there was a song that the saints used to sing that said, "Standing, standing, standing on the promises of Christ my Savior, standing, standing, I am standing on the promises of God." What does it mean to stand on the promises that God made? What promises did God make? The… Continue reading Standing On The Promises Of God

Grow Through Your Pain
To say the phrase grow through your pain doesn't seem like the words go together in a sentence. The definition of pain is physical suffering or discomfort caused by illness or injury.

God’s Mercy
Webster defines mercy as a blessing that is an act of divine favor or compassion. Mercy is God not giving us what we deserve. When our children are disobedient, sometimes we show them mercy.

Just a Little While
In 1 Peter 5:10, it says, "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."
