Confidence To Believe!

by

Dr. Mike Murphy I grabbed my keyboard, ready to jump in and help.  We have all been there, seen someone on social media who placed themselves in the eye of the storm.  Knowing that the attacks were getting ready to come at them from all sides, because of a comment or reply they have made.  As I watched that day, I saw an older woman I knew speaking up to defend Christ.  Speaking up in the middle of a discussion where many were looking to do nothing but attack Christ, and the faith she held dear.  Before her reply, a …
