Stage Four, Five Alarm

And looking at them Jesus said to them,
"With men this is impossible,
But with God all things are possible".
Matthew 19:26

Who holds you up when adversity comes and shakes you down--when you're told that you're going to die from your illness, your income has burned to the ground, and the housing market has fallen? Who is going to be there to help you up?
