In Times Like These... 

By Resources for Life, Soul Songs

We live in a time where events that impact or drastically change lives are unfolding in rapid successions.  The disruption of our daily activities at the height of the pandemic came with a vital life lesson for every one of us.

Praising God Through the Storms

By Resources for Life, Trials

Praise is a verbal expression of gratitude to God. It is also an act of worship. It is easy to praise God when our lives are going smoothly and according to plan.
