Friday’s Feature Quote – “The Sovereign Lord” – 01/31/2025

January 31, 2025

Nothing whatever, whether great or small, can happen to a believer, without God’s ordering and permission…There is no such thing as “chance,” “luck” or “accident” in the Christian’s journey through this world.

Ryle (1816-1900), Anglican bishop, … More Friday’s Feature Quote – “The Sovereign Lord” – 01/31/2025

Grace to You Blog Series – “Personal Evangelism” – 01/30/2025

“Beware of all who solicit money! There are few things we loathe more than to see those professing to be engaged in a work of faith soliciting money.
