But what we are going to see is what Jesus tells us to think about the last days. And it might actually surprise you. 1 As ...read more

Living A Life Of Love Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 25, 2005

How we act and how we speak to each other really does matter to God. You may be just mirroring what you see people doing and saying around you - but is it right?

Holy War! Series

One Thing I Do

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Aug 9, 2005
