Matthew 25:1,2 (KJV) Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. As I read this I began to ask, what separated the wise virgins from the foolish ones? Jesus...

Face your giants with GOD ! Lately, I seem to be thinking about the story of David and Goliath. This story is so encouraging to me. I doubt that I will ever face a human giant in my lifetime, but there are some things that are giants in my life. For some people their giants are...
