Grace Abounding! Series

Contributed by Shine Thomas on Dec 1, 2023

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jun 14, 2010

A Neglected Command

Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 10, 2008

How odd that Christians should be commanded to be thankful. However, upon reflection, we discover that we truly need such commands if we will honour God.

It serves to remind us of one of the essential characteristics marking the person who knows the ...read more
