Posted on December 10, 2022 by Steve Simms

Answer God’s questions. Why question them?

Posted on October 9, 2022 by Steve Simms

Does God ask questions? Yes. Too often we dodge His questions instead of answering them. Before God answers your questions, He may be waiting on you to answer His. When God asked, “Adam, where are you?” He wasn’t trying to … Continue reading →

Bland faith?

Posted on September 14, 2018 by Steve Simms
