Happiness Through - Mercy (Beatitudes) Series

Contributed by Thomas Bartlett on Nov 2, 2020

Every one of us will need every one of us to forego or forgive or overlook so much. When we wrong people, we need relief from that. Not justice, that would be punishment or repaying. We need mercy.

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 1, 2021

Pharaoh tried 4 compromises to keep Israel slaves of sin, but Moses said, "We won't leave one hoof behind!" We shouldn't leave one SIN unconquered, one BLESSING unclaimed, or one SOUL unsaved!
