Whether you’re wrestling with Scripture or wondering how to be a better parent or grandparent…or just plain better, pull up a chair – let’s study God’s Word together, have some deep discussions and apply it to real life, one truth at a time.

Is assurance inseparable from saving faith—or an added step afterward? This post explores why the tiny preposition “of” matters, and how Scripture presents belief and assurance as inherently linked.
