Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Nov 5, 2021

Deborah — Judge-Prophetess-Warrior

Contributed by Dennis King on Nov 30, 2021

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2021

In chapters one and two, the apostle Paul laid the foundation for us to build our Christian lives on. WHAT A FOUNDATION HE LAID! That foundation is Christ.

As we were growing up, many of our parents tried to warn us about dangers that we faced, but we could not see them until later in life.
