A Primary Offender of Stillness…
A primary offender of stillness is people. We tend to find ourselves hurt by others and that seems to steal the ability to remain still. But God calls us to love one another, right? Yes, He does.

Hannah was a desperate woman full of...
Stillness Demands Steadfast Faith
Stillness calls for a heart soft and obedient toward the Lord. A heart willing to live a life according to His will, whatever that may be...
