Our First Response, Not Last Resort
by Thomas Cheevers on May 12th, 2025

For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord, being double-minded and unstable in all his ways." - James 1:5-8Life doesn’t come with a roadma... Read More
