All Things Are Possible

I was recently reading an article when it said, “Everything you have ever wanted is possible for you.”  This is a common theme in success books, motivational lectures, and inspirational movies.  As a Christian, what do you think of this? Is that really true?...

Keep Calm and…Choose Grace!

“Increase the Peace”- Part 1
