The above verse this morning because it is the only verse in the Bible that contains the word resolved. How are you doing on day number two with your New Year’s resolutions? Many have been broken already and more will fall in the next few days. But if you have resolved to be given more […] -

2 Cor 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
