Good Friday
My Lord, how you suffered for me! You were spit on and mocked and beaten until You were barely recognizable. You were nailed to a cross by your hands and feet and wore a crown of thorns. And on top of all that, You bore the weight of the sin of mankind - past, present...

God Is Not Done Yet
I'm writing today to encourage you to not give up! God's not done yet. The work He has started in you He will complete. I know there will still be challenges and difficult roads, but keep putting one foot in front of the other following Jesus. And remember, when Paul...
