Life Changes Fast
In an instant Mary’s world changed. At the words of the angel, “thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son,”(Luke 1:31) her world was forever changed. The pronouncement of Christ’s first coming is so powerful that it has forever impacted the world. For a while it was only the immediate persons involved,Continue reading “Life Changes Fast”

Revival Thoughts – Number 3
“She hath done what she could.” (Mark 14:8a KJV) Powerful thought that Jesus raises when a woman anoints His feet with precious ointment.
