God – not Leaders or Virus – is in Control {The Atlanta Journal Constitution}
“There is no situation I can get into that God cannot get me out.” Evangelist James Brown I read a story about James Brown that serves as an excellent illustration on trusting God when we lose control over our circumstances.

The engine stalled, and the aircraft started plunging downward, entirely out of control. It was Continue Reading
