The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

Tested, Genuine Faith
Honestly, it takes faith to buy what Peter’s selling about faith, this morning. I have to believe what Peter says about belief. I have to trust that what he says about trust is true. That it’s more precious than gold. … Continue reading
