God simply invites us to put our trust in Him and He will take care of the results and even give us His joy and peace alon...

Genesis 2:8-25 | God has equally created all women and men in His image and has called us into a relationship with Him and each other.

James 5:13-18 | Do we realize what a precious gift God has given us in the spiritual discipline of confession?
