The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, than the mighty waves of the sea.
SATURDAY FOCUS: Press Toward the Goal

SATURDAY FOCUS (Psalm 97:10)
Those espousing biblical principles need not have a head-in-the-sand mentality. We must recognize evil as evil, identify evil as evil and denounce evil as evil.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy.
