God Is Able… Are We?
Just a short thought to consider. God’s Word tells us clearly and plainly that He is more than able to “keep us.” Consider the words of Jude as just one example: Jude 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with… Read more
