Sometimes it takes weeks, months and even years.

The Word that God has been hounding me over is COVENANT.

While California is inviting women to come for abortions, state after state is completely reevaluating their stance and taking more of a biblical view of this issue that has caused God’s stomach to churn for decades!

I see it in our district

Simple question that I ask, who are you in covenant with?
