Philippians 4:22 & Romans 1-:13-15The gospel is for all people of every tribe, tongue, and nation. For every ethnicity and social status.

Beginning with Sunday’s message on a positive thought life and continuing through these daily devotions, we should know by now that our thoughts have immense power to shape our feelings, our actions, our reality, and see...  Read More

Romans 12:2“2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” How often do we let ourselves get caught up in the things of this world? Too often, we fill our minds with how we feel and what we hear from the news or social media. We allow it to change how ...  Read More
