UNMOVABLE: 

In a world filled with daily challenges to our faith, God calls us to stay steadfast in our pursuit of His heart and to seek refuge in Him. Our confidence should not rest in people or the systems of man but in the unmovable nature of our God. He is unchanging, with a good and perfect will for us, and He walks faithfully with us each and every day – and this is our pursuit to remain UNMOVABLE.

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.

Psalms 18:2
