by Jacques Gauvin

Look beyond the facts. Look at the implications of the facts. See how you can put them to work in your life.

An injustice can alter the course of your life. To trust in God is saving grace.

Trust in man is easily chattered. It is unreliable and at times alarming. Trust in God is comforting and required for salvation.
