What Are Your Priorities? Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 5, 2010

In fact it would be good if we asked those questions not just about us as a Church but of ...read more

Yet that doesn’t stop most of us from lying, does it? The 1992 book The Day America Told the Truth found that 91% of us lie ...read more
