The Umbrella Policy

Our Pastor, Ebb Fox, talked to us about Acts 27 where a very real and present danger was being lived out on a ship with a bunch of non-believers and one confirmed believer.

Prayer – Helmet of Salvation

Dear Lord, My helmet, You have given me, is as strong as it is precious. Thank you for justifying me from my past, sanctifying me daily.
