Belonging At The King's Table Series

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 14, 2022

I love this story! It’s a story of incredible, undeserved kindness. We live in a harsh world, and while there are stories of kindness out there, it’s far too uncommon. The world will show kindness to its own, but we are called to show kindness to anyone and everyone, even our enemies. But why?

Royalty Or Grunt

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Dec 10, 2024
