Deception

Let God Prevail

The purpose of this article is to strengthen our courage and confidence by helping us to see our temporary physical lives as a pathway to fulfilling what God's eternal plan is for us.  The Book of Ecclesiastes reveals the thorns in our life, the paradoxes, and the quandaries that hit us.

A Spirit of Truth
