A Matter Of Life And Death Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 3, 2015

Cage fighting is a particularly gruesome way of fighting, and yet Paul used the fighting of his day (more brutal than MMA) to describe Timothy's responsibilities. What could we possibly learn from MMA that could make us better servants of Christ?

Our Priorities In Life

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 27, 2015
