No More Dieting!

Praise God that you will follow His will and eat regular foods for the rest of your life.

A Menu of God’s Work…

Put off the old. Put on the new. To get the new, you have to repent. John the Baptist said to repent and make the crooked roads in your heart straight to be able to receive Jesus Christ in your heart...
