Thank God for closed doors! Yes, I’m serious! You never know what he protected you from. The job you didn’t get, the person you didn’t marry, etc. Praise the Lord! So often we pray for breakthroughs and great opportunities. But what if God doesn’t answer your prayer the way you want him to? It’s so easy […]
There are situations in life when we know deep in our hearts that we need to surrender it completely to God. It often concerns circumstances that leave you with a feeling of powerlessness.

Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly. Proverbs 14:29 I don’t really like the word “patience”. Do you? I immediately associate it with boredom.

I love Paul’s letter to the Galatians in the Bible. It is tense and emotional! While reading and studying it, I can really feel how Paul is fighting for the Church in Galatia to stay close to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and not listen to false teachings. In the first two chapters of […]
