Do you ever think God has AmNeSiA?

Do you think God forgot? Oh no, he didn't forget your prayer, I assure you!

Hmm, I don't know--maybe the prayer that is answered more often than any other has just eight words-two words, repeated four times: "Oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God!'

It costs nothing, warms hearts and enriches lives.  Truth is, encouragement is a gift to the soul.

Brilliant takes from Romans, two.

'This is one of your top three Morning Briefings ever!' an email came across my screen.

While the encouragement was really great, let's face it - I was just…

Brilliant takes from Romans.  March, 2024.

‘Phew!’ I heard one woman sigh.  And I knew what she meant—'this Romans study is finally over.  It was hard--parts of it were dark and a whole bunch of it I did…
