I want to take you to a very familiar verse today – Romans 8:28 The Bible says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Now this verse does not say that all things are good – ratherContinue reading “God is Good – even when the circumstances are not good”

A Thought about the Wicked
Psalm 9:17 tells us, “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Typically when I read this verse, my mind goes where most do – to the second half of the verse.
