I recently read an article in “Voice of the Martyrs” that has left me convicted.
“Who is First?” In our day to day living are we putting God’s Kingdom first? As I reflect and read stories of Christians sacrificing themselves and their families for Christ, I feel remorse for not doing more for God’s Kingdom. I [...]

We all go through these times in which we wake up and have other things on our mind except that which we should be thinking about.
I know just as well as the next person that the first and only thing on my mind should be the Lord. Not just a passing thought of His greatness [...]
