True: There Is One God

Throughout the history of mankind, there have been numerous gods that have been worshipped. The truth is that there is only one, true God. He is the LORD God Almighty, creator of the universe.

My Salvation Story

What did this mean and what if it’s true?

I learned Jesus died to set us all free

Receiving His mercy, humbled by grace
Buried in baptism, my sins washed away
I was raised from the water to live a new life
With His Spirit inside me, forever my guide

Good News!

Let Me tell you a story
Come, lend an ear
I see that you’re searching
The web far and near
While sharing your secrets
Your failures and fears
Looking for answers
Through eyes filled with tears

I want you to know
I AM here with you
Aware of the struggles
And pain you go through
I’ve witnessed your choices
Consequences too
I’m longing to help
Come, see what I do
