Are You Studying Or Skimming

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 7, 2022

The Series Is Not Over

Contributed by Marcos Suazo on Dec 21, 2004

Even A Little Can Hurt

Contributed by Bruce Ball on May 30, 2006

Have you ever noticed how opportunity only knocks once, but temptation seems to keep banging away until you answer the door? It’s always there waiting to entice us, and unless we are constantly on guard against it, we will slip and succumb to it. It might be the temptation of fear; the temptation ...read more

The carefully prepared soil that appears barren today will become a field ready for harvest. This prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi ...read more

Death Is Swallowed Up In Victory
