    We have heard the expression, "Let go and let God". Let your problems go and let God deal with them. Let go of your worries and let God take care of that. Let go of your past and let God give you a future. And yet we have forgotten that proven philosophy.

Let go of your past and let God give you a future. All of that is as true as the Holy Scriptures themselves. And yet ...read more

    When we are born we are given a spirit or soul and it is in our hands until it is returned to God.

    Handle with Care On many packages, we have the words “Handle with Care” This is to tell people that what is inside is of value and can be broken. These words should be upon everyone’s soul. “The spirit returns to God who gave it.” When Rachel died it says, “as her soul was departing…” When we ...read more
