Do I Accept What He Has to Offer 2Let me share this letter from a woman to her brother that she recently shared with me:

It simply never occurred to me that thoughts and feelings could affect the body. [Read more…]

Transformation Through Spiritual Birth

by

Transformation through Spiritual BirthHow can you be born spiritually and begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? It is easy to stumble over the simplicity of what God offers us through His Son. You are born again or saved when you believe Jesus. He said that you have access to the peace of God through Him. The starting point is when you ask Him to invade your life…when you open the door and invite Him in.
