If, Again

I’m a battle-scarred veteran of unsanctified covenant–out alive and grateful! God has lifted my head and my future is His business. It’s not up to me or anyone else.

A Prisoner for Christ

Jul 1, 2016

The Auction Block: Who will give all for a helpless sinner? Hell Hands me over to a nail-scarred embrace. I begin a new journey with the Lover of my soul. I thank you Abba Father for a seal and a cross, which is my claim to freedom as a prisoner for Christ. A Prisoner...
