Take a moment and think about who you consider… Continue reading Psa 16v2-3 – My Heroes
God makes an amazing promise both in the Old Testament and New Testament – if you sow generously, you will reap generously.

I had this challenging thought the other day – “In my day-to-day life, how do I live differently from someone who doesn’t know Jesus?”.
