    "Contract Or Covenant?"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Apr 30, 2004
    based on 19 ratings
     | 5,788 views

He displayed the right kind of faith and courage needed for the mission in 1 Samuel 14 when he and his armour bearer took on the ...read more

    Why is it such a compliment to tell a woman she looks like a breath of spring, but not to tell her she looks like the end of hard winter? Isn’t it the same thing?
