We have an unshakeable belief in the power of Jesus Christ. Despite the pain, sorrow, and tension of this world, Jesus is not threatened by the darkness. He has no rival. He has no equal.

Look In The Mirror

Scripture instructs us to draw near to God that He might draw nearer to us (James 4:8), yet many Christians today have a tendency to keep God at arm’s length. In so doing, they never fully cultivate the relationship true faith demands. This devotional examines the seven most common behaviors and mindsets that keep believers from truly knowing God and enjoying genuine fellowship with Him.

Keeping God at Arm's Length

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this wisdom packed devotional. Pride is the enemy’s weapon to stagnate your purpose. Pride isolates and will cause you to whither in the wilderness.

Let God lead and soften your heart as you read this transformative message.
