Do You Have "Even If" Faith in God?
Whether you are a believer in Christ or not it is inevitable that you will have a life filled with ups and downs. Jesus warned His disciples they would have troubles in this world.

My husband Rick and I just recently went through a trial that was one of those "even if" moments that is now another testimony of God's love and care for us. We can b...
