    Jesus said that our love for other believers would be a testimony to the gospel. But sometimes, it's hard to tolerate, much less love, our fellow Christians. In his letter to the Colossians, Paul tells us how to do it.

A “crown of glory”. I like that. My problem is that my crown gets a little smaller every year. By the way, I tried to ...read more

    In this concluding article of this title series, I want to focus on the ministries that are prohibited and the ministries that women can and should pursue.
