What does it meant to be alive in Christ – Really ALIVE In CHRIST?


God placed this question on my heart as I was waking up this morning, and I think it’s a wonderful question. It was a question I needed to spend time meditating on.

Are You Feeling Crushed By Adversity?

No matter how heavy your heart and alone you feel in your present circumstances, you are not alone. God is with you, always. (Deuteronomy 31:8).

Before you can live abundantly, you need to internalize the fact that you are not alone. If you can’t allow...
