All Authority Is Established By God

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Romans 13:1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.

Question Vs. Trust

S. O. A. P. Here's your 90 second AM devotional! S-cripture: Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made.
