The Adequacy of Our God

“1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  2Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3Though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling.  Selah”  (Psalm 46:1-3) The assurance from […]
