WHY SHOULD WE PRAISE GOD UNCEASINGLY TODAY (AND EVERY DAY)?

by Bill Elliff February 02, 2024

Every human being has one foundational choice every single day. And this choice determines everything. This singular decision makes the difference, determining whether we will be joyful or upset, peaceful or discontent, usable or useless, intimate or distant from God.

REMEMBERING GOD

by Bill Elliff October 02, 2023

What has God done for you? Have you forgotten (or perhaps never really understood) that “every good and perfect gift comes from above” (James 1:17)? Or have you erected constant reminders?
