As the Day Begins “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally…” (James 1:5) There is a quiet honesty in this verse that meets us where we truly live.

Carried by Another
The Power of Divine Representation On Second Thought There is a subtle but life-altering truth embedded in the gospel that many believers acknowledge but few fully live from.
