God gave a beautiful world to enjoy. The Master’s hand with His creation is spectacular, to say the least. He gave such beauty so you will know who He is.

Everyone faces trials and tribulations of some kind. While we tend to balk at God for things that disrupt our days, they are actually good for us.

On February 11, 2024, the pastor of my church spoke on Mark 13. At the end of his sermon, Pastor Matt asked, “Where are you pushing Jesus behind?” It is a question that every believer must answer on a daily basis. Every believer faces the same battle, the battle between their flesh and their faith … More Move It Jesus!
