Sacrificing Freedom

Wednesday, March 24, 2010

1 Corinthians 9:19 Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.

The Promise – Keeper

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Acts 17:18 A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to dispute with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.”
The presence of pessimists and critics doesn’t [...]

More than any Excuse

Thursday, January 14, 2010
