    Looking at Jesus being the conquering Lion and the sacrificial Lamb, the way to win is to submit to God’s plans and purposes.

    Revelation 5:1-10 – The Way to go Up is Down I’m sure most of you know what an oxymoron is. It’s a figure of speech that seems to contradict itself. There are lists and lists of the things, and here are some of my favorites: Artificial Grass, boneless ribs, big town, harmless lie, communist ...read more
