Perseverance: The ability to push through when doubt, insecurity, fear, hardship, and extended suffering, are about to derail us. Perseverance is the ability to persist in spite of discouragement, obstacles, and the toughest challenges. There are two types of perseverance: worldly perseverance, when we face the everyday trials of this world; and kingdom perseverance, where we face persecution for our… Read More
Do you sometimes question how the armor of God will provide protection for you in a world that is fraught with wars, natural disasters, and economic factors beyond your control?

It seems that people think, when we forgive others, we are letting them off the hook and they are getting away scot-free. Our minds scream: justice should be done, the person should be taught a lesson and punished for their indiscretion.
