Deliverance
Fools say in their hearts, “There is

and there is no free will. If all of that were true, what would the purpose of
life be? It would be empty.
As we move along on our earthly
pilgrimage, we don’t need to stumble in the darkness of unbelief. Instead, we
can walk confidently in the light toward an eternity of unending blessedness.
That is the difference faith in Jesus Christ makes.
There is
darkness in the world, unless we accept the light of salvation.
