Dauntless Faith – VCY.org

1+ day, 1+ hour ago (271+ words) I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee. (Acts 18:10) So long as the Lord had work for Paul to do in Corinth, the " I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee. (Acts 18:10) So long as the Lord had work for Paul to do in Corinth, the fury of the mob was restrained. The Jews opposed themselves and blasphemed; but they could neither stop the preaching of the gospel nor the conversion of the hearers. God has power over the most violent minds.

The State of Christian Teens

1+ day, 16+ hour ago (203+ words) Evangelist Matt Galvan is engaged in full-time evangelistic work. He travels across the country speaking in churches and camp settings in an effort to reach young and old with the Gospel. Sometimes the natural trend is to assume everything is okay with your son or daughter or with your grandchildren and to believe there's nothing to be concerned about. That is, until something occurs and you say, "Oh my, how could this have happened? I never expected this." Today, we don't want you to assume that everything is just "A-OK" even if you homeschool or send your children to a Christian school. Do you really know what your teen is thinking?

(Deuteronomy 28:13) If we obey the Lord, He will compel our adversaries to see that His blessing rests upon " The Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail. (Deuteronomy 28:13) If we obey the Lord, He will compel our adversaries to see that His blessing rests upon us. Though this be a promise of the law, yet it stands good to the people of God; for Jesus has removed the curse, but He has established the blessing. It is for saints to lead the way among men by holy influence: they are not to be the tail, to be dragged hither and thither by others.
