Hurricane Proof Faith
Hurricane Proof Faith
Hurricane season is upon us again and WOW it is off to a fierce start.
As we pray for God's provision and protection for those in Dorian's path, it's a good time to ask ourselves,
"Can my faith sustain a Cat 5 storm?"
Those who ignore Jesus' storm warnings are sitting ducks for spiritual ruin.
