Honoring His Name
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness. Psalm 29:2 The Psalms inspire us to praise and honor the name of the Lord. As we seek God, He will reveal His character to us through His names. Let us learn to honor Jehovah God, […]
Enemy Doesn’t Play Fair but God Does
