    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 3,681 views

    In this passage of scripture, we can see three things. First, we can see where caution hinders compassion. Secondly, we can see where compassion builds community. Finally, we can see where members of the community must be accountable to God and each other.

Some of his men responded by saying that his services would no longer be needed. The one who tells this story (Warren W. Wiersbe) also says ...read more

He’s forty-one now—bright, competent, a systems manager for a defense company, respected by his peers. On paper, everything about his life says success. Yet that afternoon, ...read more
