Through Bible study, devotional readings, and conversations with other Christian believers, I have come to understand that we cannot have a breakthrough in our lives without faith; the only...
All things come of thee and of thine own have we given thee (1st Chronicles 29:14). God has blessed the United States as well as other nations with great material wealth.

It’s God’s will that we give him praise, and continue to mag...
