Faith is not enough
Faith is not enough
By Victor S E Moubarak
In Hebrews Chapter 11 we read: To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. But what does that really mean?

A Time For Everything
A Time For Everything
By Mariel Roersma
Last week I was going through a very difficult time. For the past 4 years, I've been very blessed with a great Mentor. But we don't always see eye to eye. There was a lot of anger, negativity, and our relationship could have easily been done. But something changed last week.

Katherine of Christ Crucified
By Kathy Lamb
It’s natural to have deep feelings surrounding the Passion and Death of Christ when getting closer to Jesus.
