God chooses to work through broken vessels.

For it is God who said, “Out of darkness Light shall shine;” who shone in our hearts to give the brightness of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen Read More …

The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does Read More …

Joy comes from who we are in Jesus

God is no longer out there somewhere… He is alive in us through Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
