Even the non-religious among us may admit to believing that God does indeed work in “mysterious ways.” From Genesis to Revelation we see clearly (thanks to hindsight) that God pretty much always works in the most unexpected ways. He told Abraham he…

More than Conquerors

Conquered by any number of joy limiting, life debilitating things or circumstances? The Christ follower, by the power of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, is MORE THAN a…
To Infinity…. and Beyond!!
The Frontline Global Impact coordinators team is reading A.W. Tozer’s “The Attributes of God.” Chapter one is about God’s infinitude.
