Is Skint A Lack Of Faith

When things are financially tight in church life, or even in your personal life, it could be a sign that you’re actually smack bang in the middle of God’s will. Sometimes we just need a jolt.

When forced to really hear what the Spirit is saying we finally wake up and move out into new territory in God.
