The Thessalonians # 6

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

One of the things adults talk about is how it seems that young people today do not appreciate the many sacrifices many parents have made for them.

Therefore they can not really appreciate the sacrifices that have been made to make it possible for them to have those things. This explains why they do not think the way ...read more
